"Prankishly enjoyable" says EW reviewer Owen Gleiberman of a new documentary called Exit Through the Gift Shop.

He writes that the film, made by stealthy London street artist Banksy, "...is 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.
