A young girl is raised in a dysfunctional family constantly on the run from the FBI.

Together, they fend for each other as they mature in an unorthodox journey that is their family life.

The movie was overall a great experience - the cast was amazing (Ella Anderson has set some standard for her future career!), the narrative style, the aesthetics, everything worked very well, and told a story that kept me interested. But because it is based on a true story, I had many mixed feelings - I am glad Jeannette Walls made peace with her history, and I admire her for it, but I felt very sad while watching the whole thing, specially with the ending, even if it was supposed to be a happy one.

The Glass Castle storyline was in my opinion quite interesting. The fact that it is a true story makes it even more interesting. It is fascinating to see how these kids were brought up, and although it has a lot of flaws, I also think it's quite beautiful. How they were seeing the world and learning by living. The acting was brilliant, all the children in this movie are seriously good actors. I was impressed. They choice very beautiful sceneries to film, and the camera work was great. The part they filmed in the pool was done particularly well. I might have expected a bit more or something very different from the movie, but it for sure wasn't a bad one. So I'm giving this movie a very solid 7, and you the recommendation to go watch it :-)

Ass Castle is a miserable child showing us a photo album of her abusive childhood for over two hours. I'd rather stick my knob in a meat grinder because it would feel the same but be over quicker.

It was pretty good but they really gotta stop with this s**t in movies about daughters or sons having a rough childhood, then parents end up sick and the now adult kids forget years of suffering, neglect and whatnot to forgive them in the end because it's "the right thing to do".
It's not.

**The story of a Mountain Goat!**

This was like a combination of 'Captain Fantastic' and 'Infinitely Polar Bear'. But only a messed up tale than them. It was based on the book of the same name which originally a true story. A fascinating one. Inspiring, as well as heartbreaking story. But a wonde More
