Bronson’s art is, from what can be seen, mostly cartoonish grotesquery more reminiscent of Daniel Johnston than Basquiat, but his final “piece” is executed with as much theatrical verve and visual splendor in a series of moments as the rest of the film offers in its entirety...

Furthermore, the punishment of the HUPD—charging the students with a crime punishable by a fine and up to a month in prison??was wildly disproportionate to the alleged wrongdoings of the protesters.That’s not to say that we condone the type of disruptive and ineffective protest the four protesters staged, which we believe detracts from actual dialogue. A more effective and appropriate tactic would have been...
