Leave your thoughts about The Glass Castle.
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonDespite its muddled structure, the strong performances and even-handed perspective on irregular parenting and lasting family bonds successfully translates most of the narrative texture from page to screen. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanA remarkable and moving story, anchored by an Oscar-worthy Harrelson. |
| Deseret News, Salt Lake CityJosh TerryCretton gives The Glass Castle an epic grace that, while emotionally exhausting, never feels contrived or heavy-handed. |
| MaraMovies.comMara ReinsteinInstead of a triumphant tale about perseverance, we get a glossed-over love letter to the joys of quirky hippie-dippy parenting. |
| leonardmaltin.comLeonard MaltinA deeply-felt adaptation of journalist Jeannette Walls's best-selling memoir about growing up with impoverished and irresponsible parents. An emotional high-wire act like this is tough for any movie to take on, the results are less than perfect. |
| New York Daily NewsAriel ScottiThe Glass Castle is a family portrait that at its heart is a father-daughter movie, anchored by two outstanding actors. |
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoWoody Harrelson is mesmerizing in The Glass Castle. but he's hardly the only reason to check it out. |
| National PostChris KnightIt all adds up to a nuanced and emotional tale, anchored by equally fine performances by Larson and Anderson. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanDeeply touching. The Glass Castle mostly finds just the right note [for the material], feeling very authentic in both the lighter and the darker moments. |
| The Tracking BoardEdward DouglasAn erratic but emotional adaptation of Jeannette Wallis' memoir. |
