A young girl is raised in a dysfunctional family constantly on the run from the FBI. Living in poverty, she comes of age guided by her drunkard, ingenious father who distracts her with magical stories to keep her mind off the family's dire state, and her selfish, nonconformist mother who has no intention of raising a family, along with her younger brother and sister, and her other older sister. Together, they fend for each other as they mature in an unorthodox journey that is their family life.

I remember reading this book in high school, and to this day it's my favorite. This movie is now one of my favorites. They captured everything that needed to be said and done. I'm thrilled that I finally got to see what I imagined as a read this novel. Absolutely amazing!!

A man's life and plans for his family are like the desire to build a glass castle for them to enjoy. Most of the time, the glass castle is never built. Powerful performance by Woody Harrelson and Ella Anderson. Brie Larson must be noted for her part marking this film enjoyable.

A wonderful movie based on a true story, but the story shouldn't be remembered as an example on how to live life. There are of course good points about their way of living, free from the daily routine and the pressure to contribute to society and fitting in, but the minor points are that the father is just a hopeless drunk that rather had his drinks and fags then providing food for his family. But the story is very captivating, it won't let anybody indifferent. The cast is very well chosen, with Woody Harrelson and Ella Anderson as the most outstanding actors in this movie. But Naomi Watts and Brie Larson were also very good in their roles, as the rest of the cast. At the end of the movie you get to see the real characters of this movie remembering their deceased father, and of course all remembering the good times. Never talk bad about the dead, that's how it is. But not everything was a clear blue sky, on the contrary. The Glass Castle is one of the better movies I saw lately and I could only recommend it.

Raising children is not easy. Being a child growing up in an unstable relationship and general instability character wise (parents wise that is), is not easy either. This movie is not easy to watch is what I'm trying to say. But it is rewarding if you are into dramas and really good performances. The lines are blurred between good and bad, and what parenting is about and how or what you should learn from the usually most important people in your life.Woody Harrelson gives a powerhouse performance, which elevates but is also enhanched through the other great performances. As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you ... So if you like slow moving drama with a distraught time line, this is the one you may like
