Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

There isn't a boring shot anywhere, and writer-director Schnabel is clearly enjoying himself as he plays with expressionist sound, neo-Eisensteinian edits, and all sorts of other filmic ideas.

Schnabel made his film about Basquiat, which carries its own validation. He's also made something of a work of art in its own right.

The character on the screen (played by Jeffrey Wright)... is nothing more than a surface.

A stylish and interesting look at a moment in New York City's art world where everyone stopped to look at one person, who never seemd to quite fit.
