Middle Aged Lady Movie Night - The Goldfinch

I picked up the book this movie was based on, when it came out, and only made it through 20 pages or so before discarding it.  So bravely, I thought maybe the movie would be better for me - but nope.  Boring.  Theo is with his mother at the museum when she is killed in a bombing, and he leaves with a famous picture.  He is damaged - of course and struggles as a teen and an adult to deal with everything. 

It seemed to me that the movie missed on so many points.  So many speeches and moments, that were all disconnected and lacking in real emotion with sad girls and crocodile tears.  So even at 99c this one was not really worth the ticket price.  2/5
