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.

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!

The power and bond of family can be unbreakable! Enjoyed the heart and emotion of this movie. Excellent acting by Ella Anderson as young Jeanette.

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.

¿A qué me refiero? Pues a que la película es buena, de eso no hay duda, pero una película con una historia así, debería poner en ciertos momentos la piel de gallina y no lo consigue. Creo que es por tu forma de hacerla para llegar al corazón. Pierde fuerza y aparte por su manera de rodar.No conozco el libro y por lo tanto no lo he leído. No sé si la historia es así, imagino que sí, pero a mí estas películas de perdón, me dejan mal. A una persona como ese padre que se gana por derecho propio que todos sus hijos le desprecien y no quieran saber nada de él, no sé por qué hay que redimirlo y menos por haber hecho alguna cosa buena, que por defecto, debería haber hecho.Me parece que los actores están todos estupendos, pero eso es lógico, con ese elenco es difícil que esta faceta este mal. Desde el más pequeño hasta el último, hacen unos papeles impresionantes.No me gusta el cambio final de Brie, no creo que tenga que darle esa parte de culpabilidad.En esta película la peluquería, maquillaje y vestuario tienen un papel fundamental. Están todos esplendidos. Te ayudan a que te creas todos los personajes completamente.La iluminación está muy bien. Es bonita y te ayuda a meterte en la historia. Si bien algunas partes deberían haber sido más frías.El director, lleva la película hacia delante, si, el problema es que tira más por un camino sensiblero y eso la hace peor. No sabe poner la cámara para ganar en todos los aspectos, solo cuenta la historia desde fuera. Pero por lo menos la cuenta y no te aburre.No se si no habría ganado más si el montaje fuese distinto. Hay veces que tanto volver hace decaer la película. A lo mejor debería haber contado todo lo anterior más junto.Es una buena recomendación. What do I mean? Well, the film is good, there's no doubt about it, but a movie with a story like that, should give goose bumps at certain moments and it does not work. I think it's because of the way you do it to get to the heart. Loses strength and apart by his way of rolling.I do not know the book and therefore I have not read it. I do not know if history is like that, I guess so, but to me these movies of forgiveness, they leave me badly. To a person like that father who earns in his own right that all his children despise him and do not want to know anything about him, I do not know why he has to be redeemed and less for having done something good, which by default, he should have done.I think the actors are all great, but that is logical, with that cast it is difficult that this facet is wrong. From the smallest to the last, they make some impressive roles.I do not like the final change of Brie, I do not think I have to give him that part of guilt.In this film hairdressing, makeup and costumes have a fundamental role. They are all splendid. They help you to create all the characters completely.The lighting is very good. She's pretty and helps you get into the story. While some parts should have been colder.The director, takes the film forward, yes, the problem is that it throws more down a maudlin path and that makes it worse. He does not know how to put the camera to win in all aspects, only tells the story from the outside. But at least it counts and it does not bore you.I do not know if I would not have won more if the assembly was different. There are times when so much to return causes the film to decay. Maybe I should have told all the above more together.It is a good recommendation
