Movie - Sentimental Value
Best Picture Oscar nominee "Sentimental Value" plays Sunday, March 8 at 4 & 7 p.m. at ISU's Bengal Theater.

The Toronto Star writes, "Fantastic performances across the board — especially by Reinsve and Fanning — and a keen sense of the meaning of the title, make this film a pleasure to watch." Admission is $3 for the public, $2 for ISU staff/faculty and free for ISU students with Bengal ID. For trailer and more information, go to www.isucinema.com/sentimental.
