About
You may like this if you enjoy offbeat documentaries about street art, art-world satire, and stories that blur fact and performance; Not for you if you want a straightforward, neatly explained documentary.
Pros: fascinating street art world; quirky, funny tone; thought-provoking ideas | Cons: uneven second half; some filler footage; can feel maddening
