Exit Through The Gift Shop

First let’s get this out of the way; Exit Through The Gift Shop is not a movie about Banksy (and no you don’t get to see his face), it’s a tale of media hype Vs talent, how guerrilla marketing can make you a million pounds in one night and most importantly of all, “Exit” is the perfect example of just how self aware and mature the street art movement has become.

Featuring a stellar cast of artistic talent including; Sweet Toof, Shepard Fairy, Swoon and Invader to name a few, the film follows the story of French film maker turned chancer street artist; Mr Brain Wash, from his early years of film making and peeking at his mega hyped solo show in LA.

The film is charming, funny and intelligent. It is not a promotion tool for the street art movement and i was highly impressed with it’s honesty by showing the ugly side of modern day graffiti. Whether you’ve been into street art for years or just want to see a good movie, I couldn’t recommend this more. 10 out of 10, 5 stars, go see it now!
