Museum Town Reviews
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
A fine recounting of one instance where "thinking big" in the always-strapped-for-cash museum world paid off...the MASS MoCa contemporary art museum in post-industrial North Adams, Mass.
Black Girl Nerds
Sezín Koehler
'Museum Town' is a love letter to the world's biggest museum of contemporary art
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A loving tribute that misses some opportunities but also fully represents the unpredictability of life.
Film Threat
Josiah Teal
Regardless of any shortcomings, the movie did legitimately make me want to visit these beautiful pieces in the flesh.
Third Coast Review
Lisa Trifone
What's most compelling is when Trainer zooms out...to focus instead on the curators and artists bringing grand-scale works to the facility...
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
A love letter to what can be accomplished when you have art as your community, not just a commercial endeavor.
Los Angeles Times
Carolina A. Miranda
The film is a congenial 101 on MASS MoCA. Too bad it doesn't go deeper than that.
New York Times
Lovia Gyarkye
For those even mildly curious about the story of one of the country's largest visual and performing arts spaces, "Museum Town" is worth watching.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Museum Town offers access to nothing a decent journalist couldn't have gathered, and it excludes things a good reporter would deem important.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Fascinating.
The Weekend Warrior
Edward Douglas
Trainer has done a good job making it easier for people like me to understand why a trip to MASS MoCA in North Adams might be a worthy sojourn.
Hyperallergic
Beatrice Loayza
A deceptively breezy retrospective on Mass MoCA's unlikely success; it illuminates how and to what extent art and cultural institutions can help revive communities under duress.
Pajiba
Seth Freilich
The film doesn't really dig in and get its hands dirty, even though it had time to do so with a running time of less than 90 minutes.
Quelle Movies
Raquel Stecher
Museum Town beautifully captures a community in transition and a space that offers limitless possibilities for displaying contemporary art in its many forms. It will have you booking your trip to North Adams for a visit.
