Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat
The idea for the film originally came from The New School's panel discussion about Jean-Michel Basquiat's early life.[5] About a month or two later, Hurricane Sandy hit New York City.[5] A scientist Alexis Adler, who is Sara Driver's friend and lived with Basquiat, had put Basquiat's drawings and writings in a bank vault.[5] She went to the bank and found them safe.[5] In a 2018 interview with Interview, Driver recalled, "I saw what she had and I was like, this is not only a window into him, but this is a window into New York at that particular moment in time."[5] For example, the film contains extensive coverage of Colab, The Real Estate Show, The Times Square Show and ABC No Rio through on-camera interviews with once Colab president Coleen Fitzgibbon and art critic Carlo McCormick.[5]
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 89% based on 47 reviews, with an average rating of 6.7/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat offers an insightful look into a key period of the artist's life, his peers and influences, and the early '80s art world."[7] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 72 out of 100, based on 12 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[8]
Wendy Ide of The Observer gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and commented that "Boom for Real is as much an account of a specific, thrillingly gritty period in New York's art history as it is a portrait of the young Basquiat."[9] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Fame, money and addiction are a world away from Boom for Real, a movie that understands how, even for an artist with more ambition and more willingness to play the game than most of his peers, creativity can still be its own reward."[10]Owen Gleiberman of Variety called the film "compact but highly resonant".[11] Matt Fagerholm of RogerEbert.com gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars, writing, "Driver is a fascinating and crucial artist in her own right, and I'd love to see her make more movies."[12]
