SWITCH.6/10

‘The Public’ feels like the kind of political and cultural commentary needed right now, and it’s obvious that Estevez has crafted something he is passionate about, with good intention. However, the script is sadly so entry-level that it struggles to challenge audiences in the face of its desire to have universal appeal and accessibility. It’s still worth seeing, but only for the work of the cast and to inspire discourse on the topics the film touches on – no doubt deeper than the film itself. - Ashley Teresa Read Ashley's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-public-hot-idea-chilly-execution
