Exit Through The Gift Shop

[MJ12]

Has anyone seen this yet? I can't find it anywhere, it was in select theaters and I don't believe it's being released to DVD in the US any time soon.

It's the popular "Banksy Film" that came out this year. A lot of controversy has been surrounded by it's authenticity. I must admit, the title and trailers alone give me the impression that it is actually a mockumentary, a satire, or a sort of fabricated story made by Banksy to possibly prank the audience?

For anyone who has seen this, can they confirm or deny how authentic the film felt?

The main "character", Mr. Brainwash, and his story is a bit weird and some of his actions are pretty hard to swallow. I couldn't come up with a definite decision though, he could just be a crazy frenchman.

Everything else feels pretty authentic but is slightly tainted by Mr. Brainwashes presence.

I think it was wonderful, one of the most enjoyable films I've seen this year. There's some stuff that gives it an impression of being very authentic, and then some stuff that's totally out of place. Which is great.
