A remarkably compact and engaging overview of the history and ideology of this urban outlaw art form.
06/06/08
Top CriticGenuinely global, multicultural, and multilingual in its urban perspectives.
04/25/08
Top CriticTheir increasingly colorful, elaborate and large signatures sparked heated debate: Was graffiti an emerging art, a legitimate form of social criticism or vandalism pure and simple?
04/25/08
Jon Reiss' high-energy doc hops all across the globe in order to paint the fullest portrait of the most modern art.

Top CriticWhat distinguishes Jon Reiss’s lively, sure-handed film from the rest is that it widens the spectrum by taking a comprehensively international viewpoint.

Top CriticA colorful examination of property and public space, the rebellion of self-expression and an art form that's as controversial in art galleries as it is on the streets.

04/03/08
Entertaining, high-energy survey.
02/26/08
Top CriticBomb It! is a brisk and bracing portrait of the state of the art. Of course, the fact that the art is often a crime comes up ...
02/23/08
Bomb It lays out the history of graffiti art better than any other work that we can remember, and at the core of the film is a poignant social statement.
