Review of The Glass Castle (2017) by Themetacritiqer — 10 Aug 2017

This is Lionsgates's best movie. I'm a big fan of Brie Larson and the movie was still awsome without her. Her past two, Kong and Free Fire were awful(both took place in the 70's with even the same "run through the jungle song) but I can't fault her for them being a reminder at how unpleasant it can be to watch a bad movie.

It was great seeing her in them so maybe it was good she signed on anyway. I thought Glass Castle would be great, it had Brie in a non-action role,(that always coincides with a really good movie)it's been established that the book was good and it seemed to show engaging moments of what a certain type of movies are really good at showing:exceptional lives that still stay within the bounds of "I can believe it" territory.

Fortunately, this is the latest great movie in my recent streak. After seeing a lot of decent and slightly disappointing ones, this makes me feel good about the rest of the year. Now for Detroit.
