Documentaries were big in 2010. Some of them dove into much politicized worlds of thought, like Restrepo exploring the war in Afghanistan and Inside Job shedding light on the recent financial crisis. Exit Through the Gift Shop, on the other hand, provides insight on a decidedly less world affecting but equally dramatic world of street art through one of the art form's paragons, Banksy. In a move as mystifying and enticing as many of his exhibits, the film is as much about him as it is the medium as a whole... and some guy named Thierry Guetta.
