The Goldfinch (15)
Dir. John Crowley, US, 2019, 149 mins.
Cast. Ansel Elgort, Aneurin Barnard, Sarah Paulson, Nicole Kidman.
Donna Tartt’s beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning 2014 novel has been adapted beautifully for the screen. The time and place-spanning epic follows one spectacularly ill-fated boy (or is he?) across a tragic childhood and into an adulthood marked by love, loss, and a little bit of classic art theft. It’s wonderful on the page, but it’s also a meaty, dense, twisty, and utterly entrancing film. It’s a story that stretches from New York to Amsterdam to Las Vegas and back as we follow Theo through his emotional life.
