The next entry in the MAGNOLIA PICTURES: A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE DOCS programming series is LIFE ITSELF, a documentary film that recounts the inspiring and entertaining life of world-renowned film critic and social commentator Roger Ebert – a story that is by turns personal, funny, painful, and transcendent. Based on his bestselling memoir of the same name, LIFE ITSELF, explores the legacy of Roger Ebert’s life, from his Pulitzer Prize-winning film criticism at the Chicago Sun-Times to becoming one of the most influential cultural voices in America. R / 121 min. 10% of ticket sales will benefit the Chicago Cinema Workers Fund. Join us for a live Q&A on Wednesday, 5/27 at 7:00pm CT with Chaz Ebert in conversation with director Steve James.
