Marquette, MI – In recognition of May as Mental Health month, the Peter White Public Library presents a screening of the Oscar nominated film “The Squid and the Whale” on Tuesday, May 15 at 7:00pm in the Library Community Room. The film stars Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, Owen Klein and William Baldwin.
Based on the true childhood experiences of director Noah Baumbach, this film tells the touching story of two young boys dealing with their parent’s ugly divorce in 1980’s Brooklyn.
The film garnered Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations. Critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times gave the film three and a half stars saying “The Squid and the Whale” is essentially about how we grow up by absorbing what is useful in our parents and forgiving what is not.”
Released in 2005, the film is rated R and runs for 88 minutes.
There is no admission charge thanks to sponsorship by the Friends of the Peter White Public Library and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. For more information visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
