The Public (2018)
7/10
It's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day!

Homelessness in winter can cost lives. The occupation of a public building as a night shelter appears to be a life saver, yet it is illegal.

Which is the greater good: public order or saving lives, and what do the media leave out in their reports?

The viewer must find his own answer, because the movie only asks the questions.

Regretfully, there is very little drama, that could give the viewer an experience of the hardship of homelessness or its alternatives. All figures are placed on the chessboard but the movie fails to entertain.

Don't pass on the issue though: Structures may be faulty, homeless may be lazy, but it all comes down to a person equal to you and me.
