The Glass Castle is a Fantastic Movie
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , clip , Movies / November 26, 2017

We watched The Glass Castle the other day, and it was fantastic.  I really like Woody Harrelson, and adore Naomi Watts, so this was a no brainer, for me, to watch.  And Brie Larson played an exceptional role.  Even my 20 year old, daughter, got into watching it.  She said she will have to read the book next.  She always loves to compare the book to the movie.   An all-star cast shines in this inspiring film based on THE NEW YORK TIMES best-selling memoir. Jeannette (Oscar® winner Brie Larson) had a poor but wildly adventurous childhood, raised by her free-spirited father (Oscar® nominee Woody Harrelson) and her mother (Oscar® nominee Naomi Watts), an eccentric artist. But when her father’s behavior become erratic, Jeannette must find the courage to live on her own terms in this uplifting story of unconditional love. The story line is super.  You will really enjoy this movie.  And, it’s a Real Life Drama. BLU-RAY / DVD / DIGITAL HD SPECIAL FEATURES * 9 Deleted Scenes * The Glass Castle: Memoir to Movie * A Conversation with Jeannette Walls * Making of “Summer Storm” by Joel P West * Scoring The Glass Castle Connect with The Glass Castle:…
