I think the average person would think 'nothing happens in this movie', but that's beside the point. There is an endearing quality to this doc, but also an underlying melancholy all the way through. Of course, the dreamlike pace also comes from the disciplined editing, the reflective ambient score, and the beautiful photography. It's so low key, so go-with-the-flow, so 'real time' feeling that it manages a dreamlike quality. The epitome of a slice-of-life documentary! Jasper Mall offers such straightforward Middle America vibes that anyone who's never left the big city they grew up in might find this pretty alien. Reviewed by Stay_away_from_the_Metropol 7 / 10 Equal parts nostalgic comfort and dystopian apathy They all have personal stories and they're all part of the life and times of Jasper Mall. Jasper Mall is a time capsule for the future, where one day we will look back and say 'remember when we used to go to the mall?' It's a both a story of a mall as a physical entity but also as a reference point in the lives of all these invdividuals and their personal stories, from the Zookeeper turnded security and custodian, to Robin the retiring florist, and young starry-eyed interracial couple, the old men playing dominos, the tattooed hair stylist who wants to escape Jasper to do great things in her life. Malls were where you met your first love, where you went on your first date, where you met your best friends, where you made so many memories, and they're going away because American culture has changed. At the same time, I was saddened and heartbroken by the fact that these places are disappearing. So when I began watching this documentary, it brought me back to a time and place in my youth who's memory put a big smile on my face. As a child of the 80s, I spent much of my adolescence in malls like Jasper Mall making friends, hanging out in the food courts and the arcades, and just spending time there. Jasper Mall was an entertaining look into the life of a mall. Reviewed by MinistryofDoom 8 / 10 A nostalgic, heartwarming, and equally heart-breaking documentary
