What to Know

Critics Consensus

Some Velvet Morning marks writer-director Neil LaBute's welcome return to the mode of challenging chamber piece, but this misanthropic two-hander is too slight to produce the same bite as the filmmakers' best works.

Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald The look of Some Velvet Morning remains clean and flat, the decor [is] mostly hotel-room neutral. The major visual idea is to have Eve's red dress and lipstick stand out against a monochromatic backdrop: effective in itself, but not enough. Rated: 2/5 Aug 4, 2014 Full Review Mary Houlihan Chicago Sun-Times With Some Velvet Morning, LaBute returns to the provocative style that made his name. Rated: 3/4 Dec 20, 2013 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Though LaBute wrote this for the screen, I mistakenly decided that it must have originated onstage... because the oblique, heavily freighted dialogue seems too elegant and artful for a medium dominated by hacks. Dec 19, 2013 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com This dark and dismal psychological exercise features two winning performances in a film that warrants excited discussion after its closing frames. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Punch Drunk Critics Highly intriguing and verbally thrilling. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Ellen Killoran International Business Times Some final contextual cues hint that we shouldn't be so sure and suggest that Labute has something to say about ends justifying means.

BJ M Sad that they don't offer Alive Eve the roles she deserves. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review nick e A true test of patience, and won't be for every viewer. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Tedious and awkward to watch. The endless dialogue between two characters never surprised me even when the movie came to an end. The movie was pointless. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Drags on and on. Not sure if I was relieved or annoyed about the true ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Perfect acting! Some movies are left to be unseen by everyone because of the too complicated conversations and the slow development of the story. But if you are connoisseur you will like the movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this on the airplane as a Tribeca Film Festival selection, having never heard of it. I found it powerful, disturbing, intriguing and thought-provoking. I understand the criticisms, but disagree with them. I've already recommended it to friends - with the caveat that it is not for everyone. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
