Best movie of this year hands down!

Waste of time

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Love every second of this film! Very heartwarming. I don't like reading books so I stick to watching films even they are based on books. No offence to some book lovers out there, I don't know why they watch a film and give a bad review as it's too different from the book. I watch movies for entertainmnet not to compare it with the book I read. Books and movies are never ever going to be the same. The Glass Castle deserves a much higher rating!

Great subject matter marred by its production. Pedestrian direction; highly artificial sets, costumes, and make-up; and three miscast leads who never jell together and exhibit absolutely no chemistry. What a missed opportunity. Imagine what someone like Mike Nichols could have done with this material?

A man's life and plans for his family are like the desire to build a glass castle for them to enjoy. Most of the time, the glass castle is never built. Powerful performance by Woody Harrelson and Ella Anderson. Brie Larson must be noted for her part marking this film enjoyable.

Granted I didn't read the book, so there's your grain of salt. How was this movie not on the tip of everybody's tongue? Relatable to anyone who's had a dysfunctional relationship, be it with friends or family. A must watch!
