Chronicling the adventures of an eccentric, resilient, tight-knit family, The Glass Castle is a remarkable story of unconditional love. Oscar winner Brie 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 (Woody Harrelson), found the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.

Critics Consensus: The Glass Castle has an affecting real-life story and a hard-working cast in its corner, but they aren't enough to outweigh a fundamentally misguided approach to the material.

Reviews

Seattle Film Blog

Kathy Fennessy

The actors, including Ella Anderson as the young Jeannette, give it their all, but they look awkward and uncomfortable, particularly [Brie] Larsen as a tightly-wound Manhattan gossip columnist

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

The Glass Castle has soul-rattling scenes and themes that are nearly unbearable to condone or embrace, no matter how true they are to the novel.

It’s depiction of the dark side of Janet Walls’ painful childhood is clear-eyed, visceral, and hard to watch. But it badly undersells a significant part of this profoundly penetrating true story.

Neither a faithful adaptation nor a film that leaves you feeling good about its manipulations.

Despite addiction being one of the main themes of the film, The Glass Castle fails to adequately address the issue.
