Production

The idea for the film originally came from The New School's panel discussion about Jean-Michel Basquiat's early life.[4] About a month or two later, Hurricane Sandy hit New York City.[4] 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.[4] She went to the bank and found them safe.[4] 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."[4] 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.[4]

Release

The film had its premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2017.[2] Subsequently, Magnolia Pictures acquired the North American rights to the film.[5] It was released in the United States on May 11, 2018.[3]

Reception

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."[6] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 72 out of 100, based on 12 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[7]

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."[8] 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."[9] Owen Gleiberman of Variety called the film "compact but highly resonant".[10] 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."[11]
