SYNOPSIS

Suffering from a particularly stubborn and alcoholic father which is actually the adaptation of a true story, Jeanette Walls (Brie Larson) and her other three siblings must find a way to escape the depths of despair their father has chosen to take with them along with him.

Woody Harrelson who played the role of the father (Rex) is portrayed as a wild card with a timer set to go off unexpectedly. The Glass Castle borders with the question of personal freedom and the grace to live the best life, this preached by Jeanette’s father to his children hence the occasional bouncing from one location to the other and sleeping under the bare night skies and also due to financial issues.
