Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Writer-director-star Emilio Estevez turns a library occupied by homeless citizens as ground zero for our under-fire democracy. Bravo!

Rolling Stone
It's a beautifully shot and directed film that openly wears its heart on its sleeve as an ode to one of the last surviving bastions of free information and public space - the public library.

Square Eyes
Yes, it's earnest and it tries a little too hard, but it sucked me in.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
There is something decidedly old-fashioned about the storytelling in The Public, but maybe there's truth to the idea that we need to understand and appreciate the past if we're ever going to be able to move forward together.

Orlando Weekly
The film is often entertaining, with some nice touches and compelling moments. We see a string of all-too-believable questions from library patrons...

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Well-acted but preachy, sometimes corny civics lesson melodrama that's just touching enough and funny enough to come off.

3 stars out of 5 -- As civil liberties get increasingly squeezed in the Trump era, THE PUBLIC takes on a compelling sense of urgency.
Rolling Stone
Product Description:
Emilio Estevez directs and stars as Stuart, a librarian who helps a group of local homeless people take refuge from a brutal winter night by staging a sit-in at the free public library. As Stuart and his co-worker Myra (Jena Malone) work to get these "patrons," led by Jackson (Michael K. Williams), situated, the library's security team calls the police. A misunderstanding combined with the eagerness of a politician (Christian Slater) and a TV reporter (Gabrielle Union) to advance their own agendas leads to their noble act being confused for a hostage situation.
