Info

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.

The Glass Castle Audience Reviews

Ehirerapp Waste of time
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
bobzmcishl This may not be a movie to watch if you were raised in a dysfunctional family. It may bring back unpleasant memories as it did for me. I had to first read some of the critic reviews to see if their reactions were like mine. They were to a large degree. The problem lies with the premise that such bad parents as the Walls, can somehow at movies end have a happy face put on it. Make no mistake, this is an unpleasant movie featuring first rate actors trying to make a flawed screen adaptation work. Ella Anderson is the star of the movie, but Woody Harrelson plays such a bad dad, it is hard to buy into the sympathetic ending. Brie Larson is good but her playing the adult Jeanette Walls is the less interesting part of the story.
fatenalenazi The storyline was perfect, you don't get bored at any moment of the movie. Great amount of emotions were well-introduced by everyone and I was specifically surprised by the excellent performance of the young actors! As always Woodie never fails at making the best out of his role and Brie Larson did a wonderful job too. I enjoyed the movie and it was a lovely couple of hours spent.
mircealele Masterpiece ! It's one of those" collectible " movies . Great performance from actors with great story about family, hardship and beauty of life !
The Couchpotatoes A wonderful movie based on a true story, but the story shouldn't be remembered as an example on how to live life. There are of course good points about their way of living, free from the daily routine and the pressure to contribute to society and fitting in, but the minor points are that the father is just a hopeless drunk that rather had his drinks and fags then providing food for his family. But the story is very captivating, it won't let anybody indifferent. The cast is very well chosen, with Woody Harrelson and Ella Anderson as the most outstanding actors in this movie. But Naomi Watts and Brie Larson were also very good in their roles, as the rest of the cast. At the end of the movie you get to see the real characters of this movie remembering their deceased father, and of course all remembering the good times. Never talk bad about the dead, that's how it is. But not everything was a clear blue sky, on the contrary. The Glass Castle is one of the better movies I saw lately and I could only recommend it.
