This film works better as a fictionalized version of a historical document you might find in a time capsule then a movie. Some graffiti documentaries are pretty good, but so many scenes in Wild Style seem genuinely low-fi and filled with some real energy. Yes, the plot is thin, the characters are based directly on the actual people playing them and the movie seems to drag a bit, but it is worth a watch. A little smoke in your eyes before you put this on wouldn't hurt either.
