Let me begin by saying that this documentary was awesome. I loved all the street art, and if I could afford one of those pieces I would definitely invest in one. I especially loved the Space Invaders work; he was awesome.
In the other hand, I can see how people could think it’s possibly fake but since I’m not too familiar with “street art” or “graffiti”, I definitely think it was real. I think that if Banksy and Mister Brainwash came to an agreement to prank viewers with this film it would have taken a long time for them to be able to catch enough footage to pull it off. Reiterating what Germain Lussier said in the article on slashfilm.com, it would take decades for them to be able to capture enough footage to pull this off. On the comments below the article there were people talking about how they had heard/seen a lot of Mister Brainwash’s art around Hollywood, so that makes me believe that the documentary is definitely real.
The film is wonderful and I loved it but once again, I can see how people could think that Banksy is just messing with us. How could they think it’s a fluke? Well, It just seemed too good to be true in some parts, like how him and Mister Brainwash met, etc. but even so, if the documentary isn’t real it never felt as if I was being deceived while watching the film.
