The Glass Castle

Overall, Heartwarming.

Just when you thought your family was the crazy ones, one woman tells her interesting story of being a squatter who moved around a lot with her family.

It reminds me of Captain Fantastic, but if you seen the movie, The Glass Castle acts a lot like the aftermath of Captain Fantastic as the The Glass Castle goes back and forth from the past of this woman’s childhood of being a squatter and loving her father, played by Woody Harrison, to death, but realizing how unstable he and her mom, played by Naomi Watts are to her and her siblings. The movie goes into the present, which is actually 1989 and shows what the kids grew up to be because of their parents.

Not a  bad movie, it did not make me sob uncontrollably like the novel seemed to but it was a touching revelation about how much influence our parents have on us despite how different we may be from them .

Loved Woody Harrison, Naomi Watts and Brie Larson in that order in the film.
