masonfisk This one could be called The Great Santini, The Mosquito Coast, This Boy's Life & countless other titles which fall along the same lines as this film where an impoverished upbringing whether by circumstances or intent forces a protagonist to make good what life has given her. Oscar winner Brie Larsen stars as a NY gossip columnist looking back at the ramshackle existence that was her life under the schematic rearing by her irresponsible parents played by Woody Harrelson & Naomi Watts. Not even footage of the actual family members glimpsed at the end of the film can sway this viewer from any form of sympathy. They sucked as parents, move on...

Alle Meije Wink There is no nice way to put it. The film doesn't do the book justice.The book manages to convince us that Jeanette can understand how badly her parents looked after their children and still love them. The film fails to do that, which results in a review of traumatic childhood experiences.Other reviews suggest that this is because there is too much to fit in the 2 hours of film. The problem of the film is that too much has been put in, and all the childhood stories are shown as short flashbacks. But the lack of time, and the loss of chronological ordering, make it impossible to see the strong theme in the book: that somehow the children manage to deal with their hardships and turn them into something positive. The power in the childhood stories for me was that Jeanette managed to be in control in the end, and that effect was missing in the film flashbacks for lack of time. It would have been better to select fewer stories and then fully develop them. Read the book first, without it the film does not make sense.

Andres-Camara ¿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

Gre da Vid 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.
