THE GOLDFINCH is one of the worst movies I’ve seen all year. It’s shockingly bad. https://t.co/VJdD9rLDP1

THE GOLDFINCH: #TIFF19 has its first disaster. An adaptation bled dry of drama, with truly whhhhaaaaat-is-this performances from Ansel Elgort, Finn Wolfhard, and Nicole Kidman. The most exciting scene happens off-screen, but from the sound of it, it was pretty neat.

THE GOLDFINCH: Gorgeous and airless. The actors all do what they can, and some — Finn Wolfhard, Sarah Paulson — manage to shake the film out of its chilly self-consciousness. Nothing, though, can rescue the absurdly rushed and busy final act. #TIFF19

Ugh. THE GOLDFINCH was so bland and boring, I just. I really can’t say much other than nothing happens for almost 2 hrs, then everything happens at once but it’s so disconnected that it evokes no feeling. #TIFF19

THE GOLDFINCH: A movie as inert as the oil painting it is titled for. John Crowley’s listless direction and a cast apparently afflicted with narcolepsy make this the first big bomb of #TIFF19 Some books were never meant to be movies. pic.twitter.com/3ZCfDtyuky

Oh.
Last night..
Toronto, Canada.
John Crowley, Irish director of Brooklyn (2016) getting absolutely slated for new film of Donna Tartt novel.
news for ya
Brooklyn was dung too
I thought it was a good movie. Would watch it again. Probably will watch it again.
He’s also a director of intermission and true detective. Swings and roundabouts. He’s no Terry McMahon though….
No it wasn’t
Brooklyn I mean
And he got an Oscar nominated performance from the lead
Yes I enjoyed it
i take it nothing explodes in this move?
pffffft
Probably no car chases or trans robots neither!
People who loved the book, usually dislike the movie, A lot of ppl loved this book
And not one reviewer went for “The Goldfinch is for the birds”…
You just can’t get the people these days.
That was a great book. I read Brooklyn and didn’t like the book. I don’t like Colm Toibins style of writing. I did like the movie however!
The teenager did both
Saw the fillum, and then got the book
She claims Brooklyn is one of her favourite fillums, and says it presents the small mind miserable Ireland far more graphically than Tobin’s words did
