Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Excellent but underrated film
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
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.
The Glass Castle film is a defensible effect among the weak effects of its surroundings. A good camera with good director and a contemplative screenplay from the glass castle produced a great effect. Character characterization of the character of the girl as a hyacinth of resistance was a proper characterization The children remained as a brigade and did not come along with the footage, remained dumb in the offensive, and did not have the courage to say that this is a positive one! In general, the glass Castle of the film is defensible and should be seen
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.
Raising children is not easy. Being a child growing up in an unstable relationship and general instability character wise (parents wise that is), is not easy either. This movie is not easy to watch is what I'm trying to say. But it is rewarding if you are into dramas and really good performances. The lines are blurred between good and bad, and what parenting is about and how or what you should learn from the usually most important people in your life.Woody Harrelson gives a powerhouse performance, which elevates but is also enhanched through the other great performances. As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you ... So if you like slow moving drama with a distraught time line, this is the one you may like
