That said, all art deserves biography, and great art deserves recognition.

Top CriticOne of the year's best documentaries.
09/26/08
Top CriticThe film's score, by Money Mark, is an entertainment in itself.
09/05/08
Top CriticAn absorbing look at how a circle of dispossessed young artists from the 1990s eventually found its way to mainstream success.

Top CriticThis is a pleasant enough visual romp with surprisingly few down notes.

[An] alternately winsome and irritating documentary about the art scene that grew out of the Alleged Gallery on Manhattan's Lower East Side in the 1990s.

Top CriticSome of the art is probably interesting, but Rose's own video-influenced filmmaking style leaves little time for inspection or reflection.

[A] pleasant film, which sings the praises of nonconformity.

Top CriticThough [Director] Mr. Rose can't be blamed for waxing nostalgic, he can't much expect us to care about so fawning and self-serving a document.

Top CriticIt succeeds intermittently and is reasonably enlightening, but whether audiences are really going to warm up to the individuals presented here is questionable.
08/08/08
a celebration of rude and raw art and the kinetic charge of experiencing something fresh and undefiled
08/07/08
Pleasing though less-than-profound homage.
08/07/08
A product of the movement as much as an ode to it, the film is a gem because of the immaturity and intimacy that it shares with those featured in it.
08/07/08
The cultural time capsule doubles as a testament to the joys of outsiders bonding, with interviewees emphasizing how they finally felt like they belonged somewhere after years of asphyxiating alone on the fringe.
08/06/08
Regardless of Rose's intentions, his underachieving airiness is both entertaining and perfectly fitting for the slacker ennui of his clique's rising years.
08/05/08
Top CriticAaron Rose and Joshua Leonard don't properly contextualize this mini-scene within the larger art world, nor provide basic background on their speakers.
08/03/08
A celebration of Peter Pan-like spirits who felt the freedom to express themselves before anybody cared.
07/01/08
Top Critic...suffers from an egregiously "inside" sensibility that ensures neophytes will periodically be left scratching their heads at the whole thing.
