"[Director] Tamra Davis delivers a thoroughly engaging film about an inimitable New York painter without letting her sorrow over his early death turn the portrait maudlin or diminish its vibrancy." - John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter

Join Basquiat's longtime girlfriend and muse, Dr. Suzanne Mallouk, for a conversation after the September 9 screening of the film. Known as "Widow Basquiat" after his death, Mallouk lived with the artist for many years and appears in the film.
