The documentary is an exchange of illusions and obsessions, fascinating from beginning to end. [Full review in Spanish]

It's light and playful, it's interesting to see how these elusive street artists work, and it's also satisfying to hear Banksy speak (even if his voice is disguised) because it turns out he's sarcastic and humorous as hell (of course).

It is a very well made, good archival material for street art movement, with a lot of humor: the guerrilla style, tag-and-run aesthetic brings a lot of funny, entertaining moments. It also questions the nature of art and art as commodity

One of the most profound art documentaries in years.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

Exit Through the Gift Shop is a don't-miss high-octane entertainment for anyone interested in street art or the art world.

| Jan 22, 2020

Exit Through the Gift Shop may be a back-handed self-portrait, but it serves as a clear frame for Banky's ruthless imagination.

As insightful as it is funny. You'll be enthralled.

Banksy proves that his talents extend beyond the spray can to the movie camera.

His will to absence makes the monumental daring of his work all the more impressive, especially since it's a pleasant kind of art that brightens the urban landscape and cheers people up.

The characters are as compelling as you will see in anything else. Banksy is his own antihero of the film, and Guetta is fascinating to watch in his obsessive glory.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2014

Whatever your view of Britain's most famous street artist, prepare to be teased, provoked and possibly enraged by the release of his first movie.

| Aug 2, 2012

Just as clever as the work of Sasha Baron Cohen, but not nearly as culturally worthwhile because it is not nearly as politically candid.

| Original Score: 71/100 | Jul 12, 2012

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 18, 2011

An irritatingly misguided and pointless piece of work...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 22, 2011

Too ironic by half, this film is hobbled most of all by principal Thierry Guetta, that I find insufferably banal. As a satire on a market-driven art world, it is fairly toothless. Why it has garnered rave reviews is the biggest puzzle of all.

Energetic, exciting, entertaining, and at times illegal, Exit Through The Gift Shop is a wicked treat.

| Apr 5, 2011

Those tricky questions that lie in the chasm between art and commerce are raised naturally through the progression of the narrative, whether that narrative is partially fabricated or not.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 6, 2011

Curious docu about street artists with some strong language.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 1, 2011

Since virtually anything can be considered art, the term has become virtually meaningless. This documentary proves it.

| Original Score: A | Dec 31, 2010

The behind-the-scenes insight into the techniques of illegal street art is fascinating, as is the art-market critique..

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 30, 2010
