In "the public" an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. The story revolves around the library patrons, many of whom are homeless, mentally ill and marginalized, as well as an exhausted and overwhelmed staff of librarians who often build emotional connections and a sense of obligation to care for those regular patrons. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, the Patrons turn the building into a homeless shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation's most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.

All around entertaining
I laughed, I cried, I cheered. This was a movie shining a bright light on some dark things in a very entertaining way. Captivating
Excellent
Saw it at a pre-screening in SLC, UT. This movie is funny, thoughtful, very well acted, and moving. It is awesome to see an entertaining movie about a really important subject manner. This film is highly watchable, very enjoyable, and it makes you think. Give it a watch.
Alec Baldwin didn't ruin the movie
Just need to balance it out, here. Alec didn't ruin the movie. It was pretty damn good all around.
Finally an adult movie with mature themes!
I'm glad to see someone is still making films for adults on mature themes!
A must watch film.
This amazing movie shows you the tip of the iceberg of the heart of libraries and why they are the most important organizations in our communities. After laughing, crying, and cheering, i jumped up for a standing ovation on this portrayal of the profession I've dedicated my life to for over thirty years. Thank you Emilio Estevez, the cast, and crew for this film.
