Movie Book Club: Matilda

Sunday, September 29 at 4 & 7 PM

“Matilda doesn’t condescend to children, it doesn’t sentimentalize, and as a result it feels heartfelt and sincere. It’s funny, too.“
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

KPAC and BookPeople present MATILDA as part of our Movie Book Club series. A girl gifted with a keen intellect and psychic powers uses both to get even with her callous family and free her kindly schoolteacher from the tyrannical grip of a sadistic headmistress. The Danny DeVito directed version of Matilda is odd, charming, and while the movie diverges from Roald Dahl, it nonetheless captures the book’s spirit.

Each Matilda book purchased at BookPeople will include a free ticket to see the film at Kenworthy Theatre. Plus, get 20% off the book if you see the film and then decide to read the book afterward!

Rated: PG | 1 hr 38 min | Tickets: $8 Adult / $5 Child / Film Pass
