The original novel of "The Glass Castle" is a fascinating and heartbreaking excellent work, but the film only tells the relationship between Janet and her father. But viewers have many reasons to like "The Glass Castle", such as to see how it balances the bitterness and sweetness that these children get in such a family. The film mainly presents the memories of the children getting along well with their father, and does not focus on the wrong things he has done. Although the film is not as high-quality as the original, it still touches people's hearts and is worth watching
.
Cliton's film editing is too ordinary, making it difficult for people to appreciate the anger tumbling in Janet's heart. The box office of the movie may have good results. After all, the photos of Janet and her parents were moved out at the end, but what this movie needs most is to restore the real plot and create an atmosphere that can infect people's emotions
.
There are too many heavy dialogue scenes in this film, and some of the events mentioned in the dialogue only refer to the plot of the original, but have not been shown in the film, making the plot very confusing, which is very unwise
.
Although Larson and Harrison have shown the human side of the characters as much as possible in the film, it is still difficult to imagine how a family can be like this. Harrison's interpretation of the role is worth mentioning. He well grasped the balance between the threat this father brought to his children and the guilt in his heart
