Release

Beastie Boys Story was scheduled to have its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 16, 2020, but the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[2]^[3] The film was also scheduled to be released in a limited cinema release on April 3, 2020 in selected IMAX cinemas, but was pulled from the schedule due to cinema closures that started in mid March because of the pandemic restrictions.^[4] Digital streaming was available on Apple TV+ on April 24, 2020.^[5]

Critical reception

The film received generally positive reviews, getting an approval rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes^[6] and a score of 75 out of 100 on Metacritic, a site that aggregates a normalized rating, indicating "generally positive reviews".

However, Erik Adams of The A.V. Club gave the film a C+ and criticized it for poor pacing and lacking fun. His review concludes: "There’s not a lot of new insights or Criterion Collection-worthy film-making on offer, but for fans, the documentary will be a reminder of why they got into Ad-Rock, MCA, and Mike D in the first place. It’s all there in the outtakes: The Beastie Boys story is simply too big, too strange, too unwieldy for Beastie Boys Story to contain it."^[7]
