Glass Castle

Based on the best-selling memoir written by Jeannette Walls, Oscar® winner Brie Larson (2015, Best Actress, Room) and Oscar® Nominee Woody Harrelson (2009, Best Supporting Actor,The Messenger) star in The Glass Castle, from Lionsgate. The Glass Castle chronicles the adventures of a young girl growing up in a dysfunctional family of nonconformist nomads.

Take a Look:


Synopsis:

Chronicling the adventures of an eccentric, resilient and tight-knit family, The Glass Castle is a remarkable story of unconditional love. Larson brings Jeannette Walls’s best-selling memoir to life as a young woman who, influenced by the joyfully wild nature of her deeply dysfunctional father (Harrelson), found the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.

My Thoughts:

The buzz about this book has been constant since it was released. I have a copy and haven’t gotten around to read it. I knew it was a powerful memoir and I was curious as how it would translate to screen. I swore to read it before I saw the movie, but that didn’t happen. My disclosure is that I’m reviewing this film without any consideration towards the book. The film- I loved it. As a parent it was hard to watch some of the scenes just due to the fact that I knew this was based on reality. It truly was a heartwrenching. The acting was incredible, even more than what you would expect from an all-star cast. That includes all of the child actors as well. This is a truly moving story considering that it is full of chaos and disorder. I felt a roller coaster of emotions as did the characters. It is worth the watch. Now- I’m going to get around to read that book! Stick around for the credits because you’ll get to see the actual Wall family.

    Though I tend to be wary of film adaptions, this one looks promising. Ever since Short Term Twelve, I adore Brie Larson and will happily watch any of her work. Glad to hear such a positive review- will be checking it out soon!

    Sounds very interesting! I also try to read the books before the movie but sometimes I’m too impatient so just go and watch the movie!
