Collateral Beauty (Rated PG, 94 minutes, 2016) is on screen on Wednesday, April 5 at 6 p.m. at the Chippawa Library, starring Will Smith, Edward Norton, Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet, and Helen Mirren. When a successful New York ad executive suffers a personal tragedy and retreats from life, his friends devise a drastic plan to reach him before he loses everything. Pushing him to the very edge, they force him to confront the truth in surprising and profoundly human ways. From Oscar-winning director David Frankel, this thought-provoking drama explores how even the deepest loss can reveal moments of beauty, and how the constants of love, time and death interlock in a life fully lived. Movies are free and no registration is required. Bring your own snacks.
