Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)

2010 87 min Jan 24, 2010

Storyline

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner.

Joshua Rothkopf
That rarest of art documentaries, one that actually leaves viewers with a better sense of the gifted versus the phony.

Owen Gleiberman
An exhilarating hall-of-mirrors look at what happens when global art fame turns anonymous, artists become objects, fans turn into artists, and the whole what's-sincere-and-what's-a-sham spectacle is more fun than art was ever supposed to be.

Kenneth Turan
Subversive, provocative and unexpected, Exit Through the Gift Shop delights in taking you by surprise, starting quietly but ending up in a hall of mirrors as unsettling as anything Lewis Carroll's Alice ever experienced.

Noel Murray
A documentary that doubles as a comic thriller, and it’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.

Unnamed
Hugely entertaining documentary challenges conventional concepts of legitimate art and the creative process.
