Looks like the déjà vu train is still in service, only now
we’ve gone from things I’d much rather not fixate on to something actually
worth remembering. Specifically, we’re dealing with a slice of art-world satire
wrapped up in genre thrills, much like last year’s Velvet Buzzsaw. However,
while the two carry a certain similarity in tone, their respective approaches
to the art world are somewhat different. Where Buzzsaw was informed by the
perspective of the artist and largely stayed with it, even when focusing on
other characters, The Burnt Orange Heresy is more intently trained on the role
of the art critic… and why it’s really not worth taking all that
seriously.
