8 Movies & TV Shows To Watch On Netflix This Month (Feb 2019)

8. Velvet Buzzsaw (February 1)

After the success of Dan Gilroy’s directorial debut Nightcrawler, he teamed back up with Jake Gyllenhaal and wife Rene Russo to bring us a satirical horror about the art world.

Velvet Buzzsaw introduces us to various shallow people working in the art scene of Los Angeles. Everything kicks off when art agent Josephina (Zawe Ashton) steals the work of her dead neighbour, who had left explicit instructions for everything to be destroyed.

It’s an interesting mix of genre which shows what happens when people care more about money than actual art and intention. Whilst the film isn’t as a good as Nightcrawler, it’s still worth a watch for the cast (also featuring Toni Collette, John Malkovich and Stranger Things’ Natalia Dyer) and fascinating Final-Destination-style deaths.
