Movies like Velvet Buzzsaw

Black Swan is a psychological horror-thriller set in the competitive world of ballet. Its intense character study and intersection of artistic ambition with psychological breakdown mirror the themes of obsession and terror found in Velvet Buzzsaw.

Birdman provides a satirical look behind the scenes of the entertainment industry, focusing on a washed-up actor attempting to rejuvenate his career. It offers the same darkly comical and surreal elements as Velvet Buzzsaw does for the art world.

Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, The Neon Demon is a visually stunning film that explores the dark side of the fashion industry, much like Velvet Buzzsaw’s critique and supernatural twist on the art world.
