Was I disappointed? Taking in to consideration the fact that I'm being delivered Velvet Buzzsaw by the same writer, director, and star as Nightcrawler, honestly, yes. But that is a very high bar to try and meet, falling short of it is none too heinous an offence. On its own merits, Velvet Buzzsaw features some magnificent acting, cool effects, engaging plotline, despicable characters and a hefty dose of originality. It's not a perfect film, it's probably not even a great film, but I've started years off in far worse ways before.

Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
