The Glass Castle Trailers

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.

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
pransiskiko 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!
markandtsimpson This movie really bothered me. Rex Walls was not a misunderstood man whose demons excused the neglect and abuse he made his family suffer. He was a drunk con-artist who made his family suffer by not providing them with food or shelter. He was also an expert in conning his children into believing that he actually loved and cared about them. The Mom was not portrayed properly, she was equally complicit with the neglect and horrible childhood those children endured. The movie should have been about the children and how they somehow managed to thrive, not their horrible alcoholic father and lazy mother.
lazlaw One the most funniest and moving films I've ever seen . Great acting and direction by all involved. A must see before you die film .
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.
