"...Deservedly canonized..."
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
4/5
"The brutally honest performances, articulate style, and the movie's sexual and violent shock value save the story from becoming too stale or uninspiring."

A+
"In 1986 David Lynch broke the language of cinema wide open in the same way that Jackson Pollock did with the art world in the early '40s."

4/4
"David Lynch's mise en scene screams "Leave it to Beaver.""
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
"An unsettling film that depicts the moral rot underlying the American Dream through arresting cinematic images that are at once realistic and surreal."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
"A Nancy Drew nightmare of suburban depravity...but
Velvet
tackles more than red-county debauchery; it's not only about sex in America but sex in movies."
Cinepinion
Henry Stewart
A
"lies within the Technicolor tradition of film-noir, where evil continually lurks beneath the surface"
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
9/10
"...evil lurks in the most seemingly harmless places."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
"Even some fifteen years after the release of
Blue Velvet
its vision remains wildly adamant relative to the stride of other works of contemporary noir. There have been many films about suburban crime, but none as dangerously imposing as this."
