My stepbrother is quite an 'in' guy and his friends, who I also assume to be 'in', are raving about this movie. I would say it's a good movie but I wouldn't go so far as to rave about it. If you are familiar with the likes of Banksy and street artists like him, you may not be so enthralled with this movie. However, for people who aren't aware of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, etc., this movie will be a intriguing and a breath of fresh 'street' air. The Mr. Brainwash phenomenon in this movie is interesting. Many a coffeeshop minute could be spent talking about Mr. Brainwash's success. Is he an anomaly, did he, knowingly or unknowingly, take advantage of today's art consumers? Go see it and enjoy!

I went into Banksy's 'Exit through the Gift Shop' expecting a documentary on the infamous grafitti artist. It turned out to be a documentary on the art of grafitti itself, and how the counterculture became somewhat mainstream. It was a great film overall; it gave a good look into the behind the scenes of street art.
