Entertainment Weekly - 04/21/2006
"[T]hrilling: rare performance footage, solid reportage about how the band crafted its chillingly lovely music, [and] incisive interviews..."

The Velvet Underground: Under Review is an 85-minute film reviewing the music and career of one of rock music's most influential collectives - a band which esteemed music journalist Lester Bangs claims "started modern music." The film also features rarely seen promo films; material from Andy Warhol's private film collection; interviews with colleagues, producers, musicians and friends; TV clips; location shots; and a host of other features. Covering the group's entire musical career and with extras - including extended interviews; a special feature, "Velvet Reflections"; "The Hardest Velvets' Interactive Quiz In The World Ever"; and full contributor biographies - this is not just the only Velvet Underground DVD available, it is also the finest documentary on the band ever to emerge.

The famous saying about the Velvet Underground, the unofficial band of Andy Warhol's "Factory," is that only a handful of people ever saw them perform, but all those people went home and started bands. In short, the Velvet Underground are widely considered one of the most influential rock groups of modern history. VELVET UNDERGROUND - UNDER REVIEW examines the history and significance of the band, and includes rare concert footage plus interviews with Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, Sterling Morrison, and John Cale.
