The Public (2018)
7/10
Solid without being amazing
18 December 2019
That moment when Taylor Schilling says "I'll see you in jail" Haha Didn't help I couldn't shake seeing her as Piper Chapman the whole film.

The Public has quite the impressive cast. It's a strange little film though. I enjoyed it, but something prevented it from being amazing, or something I'd be talking about in years to come.

It highlights some really important issues plaguing society. I felt the film had a lot of heart and was never condescending to any group of society. There were a lot of great understated performances in this. The 2 hour runtime seemed to go by quickly for me. I could relate to many aspects of library life that were depicted. Many of the characters felt familiar.

The film just said what it had to say about the importance of libraries and the plight of the homeless, and then it just seemed to end. Worthwhile to check out if you're into libraries, Emilio Estevez or issues plaguing society.
