The Public (2018)
Written & directed by star Emilio Estevez this film also features Alec Baldwin, Christian Slater, Jena Malone and Michael K. Williams. During a cold winter homeless people in Cincinnati with nowhere to go occupy the public library.
Rarely do you see any talk about the link between public libraries and homelessness so this is a refreshing subject to see on the big screen. Where the plot falls down is in the lack of real solutions offered at the end but it is still a decent watch. If nothing else hopefully this film will serve to soften the views of some on the homeless.
3/5
