The Goldfinch / Reviews

Flicks, Adam Fresco

If you’ve not read Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer-winning coming-of-age tale, then you’ll likely enjoy this big-screen version more than those who have. It’s a pretty faithful adaptation, but despite the 150-minute run-time, it’s hard to squeeze in, let alone justify, every narrative twist, turn and somersault through time. Not that Brooklyn director John Crowley, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy screenwriter, Peter Straughton, deliver a bad film, it just lacks the intimate immediacy and detailed depth of the source material.

Stuff

Put it in the box labelled "save your money and just read the book again", along with The Lovely Bones, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and a dozen others you can probably name off the top of your head.

Time Out

It's terrible when a beloved novel arrives onscreen with a self-important thud, and that's putting it diplomatically in the case of The Goldfinch.

The New York Times

It looks and sounds like a movie without quite being one.

Vanity Fair

The Goldfinch is better than I expected it would be. And yet in clearing that bar, it bares open all the possibility that it could have been even more.

The Guardian

It's neither a rousing success nor an embarrassing failure, falling somewhere in between, closer to admirable attempt.

Hollywood Reporter

Unlike the tiny painting that gave the book its name, the film deserves a more expansive canvas.

Variety

Yet a morose and downbeat movie, too lost in the maze of its designer seriousness, is what "The Goldfinch" finally is.

Frankly, you might have more fun watching a pigeon for 149 minutes.
