Der Distelfink (2019)
30KDer Distelfink: Directed by John Crowley. With Oakes Fegley, Ansel Elgort, Nicole Kidman, Jeffrey Wright. A boy in New York is taken in by a wealthy family after his mother is killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In a rush of panic, he steals ‘The Goldfinch’, a painting that eventually draws him into a world of crime.
“I had high hopes for this movie ever since it was announced, as it had cast an all-star cast and the novel (though I never read it) was considered great, so when the negative reviews came out, I lowered my expectations going into the movie and Iu0026#39;m glad I did. The cinematography was great as well as the directing, Oakes Fegley is a star in the making and this is his movie. The remaining cast was pretty good and Finn Wolfhard, despite what critics are saying, nails the Russian accent. This movie represents life and how just one mistake can change your future drastically and itu0026#39;s not a movie for casual film-goers (as I thought 10 minutes could have been trimmed). All in all I loved The Goldfinch and donu0026#39;t let the critics convince you not to watch it.”
