    5.0 out of 5 stars Currently the most up to date and best film on the subject

    If you are interested in this world, this is the best film to watch right now. Very well done. Could have gone more in depth, but I guess that would make it way too long. This should be a mini series. I loved it, would recommend it to anyone starting out in the art world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The Profound Problem of the World of Contemporary Art
    Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018

    I watched this film while at Art Basel Miami 2017. The person who recommended this film to me asked me, "Who do you collect?" Both that question and this film point out what is wrong with the world of contemporary art. I believe there is too much concern with brand names. The rich purchase famous name art just as they drape themselves in Prada and Gucci. They are sheep with money and the gallerists who sell to them do nothing to further a love of art in amongst those throngs that traipse through their galleries unable to afford a single piece.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Artist wannabes must see
    Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018
    Wow! Brilliant! What an eye opener. I have art on the brain since I just finished the book "Old in Art School". I found out about this documentary in a very serendipitous fashion via an art podcast recommended by an LA based artist I follow. I would say that anyone who is considering a career in the art field ought to see this. If you are in art school or considering it, you must see this. Very slick. Inspirational. Pretentious. Disheartening. At times a bit grotesque. Marketing uber alles. I now feel the need to research every artist showcased in this film for starters.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I would give it 5 stars but I rented it ...

    I would give it 5 stars but I rented it for my neighbor. Don't really know if it deserves 4 stars since I could care less about the subject and didn't ask. Might not even deserve one star...but he didn't complain about it so I'll go with 4.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Informative but not very entertaining

    This was informative but not very entertaining. I would have been nice if you could have presented the same information in an engaging and entertaining way. Ug, and the background music that was added to the interviews was the worst.
