Review of The Glass Castle (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 03 Sep 2017

This is one of those rare films that I found so depressing and melodramatic that I can honestly say that I never want to watch it again, and likely never will. With that being said, the performances are a strong point to the film, with Brie Larson as compelling as ever, along with some emotionally devastating supporting turns from Woody Harrelson and Naomi Watts.

Overall, if you absolutely must see this, I'd strongly suggest only seeing it once for the acting only, if anything, because this one packs an emotional and depressing wallop that I found was too much for even me to handle, which is quite disappointing, considering how much of a better grip Destin Daniel Cretton had on the heavy subject matter he tackled in his previous film 'Short Term 12.
