  • Portland Museum of Art 7 Congress Square Portland, ME, 04101 United States (map)

SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM

GET TICKETS

The film’s mix of romance and reading matter is seductive in its own right, providing comfy book-lined settings and people who are what they read and write.
— Janet Maslin, New York Times

119 minutes. Rated PG. Directed by Nora Ephron. In English. DCP.

This screening launches our new “Makers at the Movies” series! Attendees are invited to bring knitting, crochet, fiber arts, or drawing projects to work on during the film. The lights will remain partially on to accommodate making. Presented in partnership with Olde School Fiber & Craft and Handiwork. Please note: glitter and wet materials (such as liquid glue or ink) are not permitted.

Strangers Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly live and work near each other on New York's Upper West Side. Though involved in seemingly satisfying relationships, Joe and Kathleen meet anonymously in an Internet chat room and find themselves confiding their innermost secrets--everything except their identities. But back in the real world, the opening of Joe's new Fox Books superstore a few blocks away from Kathleen's little family-owned bookstore threatens their burgeoning romance.​
