Review of The Goldfinch (2019) by James Berardinelli for ReelViews — 11 Sep 2019
Although Peter Straughan’s stripped-down regurgitation of the story is faithful to Tartt’s narrative in the broadest sense of the word, it lacks elegance and depth. A Dickensian coming-of-age tale, The Goldfinch is at times dull and pretentious and never earns its 2.
5-hour running length as an example of either art or entertainment.
