Secret Mall Apartment Ratings & Reviews
- cultfilmliker31 de enero de 2026Wish I knew how to “do” “art”
- jackson38822 de marzo de 2026If you like hidden gem of a documentary talking about a hidden gem of a location, look no further. Maybe a group of friends just built up a neglected and forgotten space, or maybe it's a reminder that building up the empty space in our own lives, is bountiful when shared with others.
- Mister Arn28 de enero de 2026Secret Mall Apartment is a documentary about a group of artists who secretly constructed and lived in a hidden space inside a shopping mall. The film’s genuine interest, though, is less about the trick itself and more about what that says about the people who did it.
- andohbytheway14 de octubre de 2025So good. An all timer for me
- Zmandella1 de octubre de 2025Awesome.
- Kevin Ward1 de julio de 2025This is an amusing doc about an art collective of sorts, led by Michael Townsend, that discovered a negative space within the confines of the Providence Place Mall and proceed to gradually build it up into a livable apartment space. I remember hearing about this story on a podcast (probably This American Life), and I was just super curious to finally put a visual to this story. It’s definitely entertaining. The secret mall apartment project functions here as more of a vehicle to bring awareness to the other works that Townsend and his fellows have worked on over the last decades. But there’s a lot of interesting discussion about what Art can be. It doesn’t necessarily be bound by form, function, location, motivation, and perhaps doesn’t even need an audience. There are certainly a lot of layers that can be pulled back on artistic expression, particularly as they attempt to recreate the apartment in a studio space.
