The Glass Castle

A young girl is raised in a dysfunctional family constantly on the run from the FBI. Living in poverty, she comes of age guided by her drunkard, ingenious father who distracts her with magical stories to keep her mind off the family's dire state, and her selfish, nonconformist mother who has no intention of raising a family, along with her younger brother and sister, and her other older sister. Together, they fend for each other as they mature in an unorthodox journey that is their family life.

It was a heartwarming and heartbreaking film at the same time. The adversity those children endured was tremendous but through it all, love was still present. I cried so much, but I really loved it.

With these parents and in such a dysfunctional family it is incredible that some children have left, already as children, so responsible.

A tad overlong maybe, but still a very worthwhile film. Both joyful and traumatic to watch, this will make you love/miss your parents more, no matter the flaws inherent within them. Keep watching for footage of the real-life family during the closing credits.

The movie was overall a great experience - the cast was amazing (Ella Anderson has set some standard for her future career!), the narrative style, the aesthetics, everything worked very well, and told a story that kept me interested. But because it is based on a true story, I had many mixed feelings - I am glad Jeannette Walls made peace with her history, and I admire her for it, but I felt very sad while watching the whole thing, specially with the ending, even if it was supposed to be a happy one.

The Glass Castle storyline was in my opinion quite interesting. The fact that it is a true story makes it even more interesting. It is fascinating to see how these kids were brought up, and although it has a lot of flaws, I also think it's quite beautiful. How they were seeing the world and learning by living.

The acting was brilliant, all the children in this movie are seriously good actors. I was impressed. They choice very beautiful sceneries to film, and the camera work was great. The part they filmed in the pool was done particularly well.

I might have expected a bit more or something very different from the movie, but it for sure wasn't a bad one. So I'm giving this movie a very solid 7, and you the recommendation to go watch it :-)

This is not an easy movie to watch but it must have been a brutal life to live. Based on Jeannette Watts’ memoir, by the same name, this is a beautifully performed production. All the headliners (Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts) were superb but the performance by the child actors are what really sold the picture. Already a bestseller for 2 years after it was published, the book once again rose to the top of the New York Bestsellers list upon the release of the movie, and, I understand why. The movie made me want to get closer to the source material. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10. [Drama]
