The Story of a Stolen Life

Theodore Theo Decker (Ansel Elgort) was 13 years old when his mother was killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tragedy changes the course of his life, sending him on a stirring odyssey of grief and guilt, reinvention and redemption, and even love. Through it all, he holds on to one tangible piece of hope from that terrible day…a painting of a tiny bird chained to its perch. The Goldfinch.

Critic Reviews:

• " Whether or not you've read the book, the film of The Goldfinch is definitely worth a look; it's no masterpiece but it's a whole heap better than many of the studio-made American films released so far this year. " – David Stratton (The Australian)

• " Thoughtful viewers looking for a mature, refined drama should seek out this compelling narrative of grief, guilt, regret, and redemption. " – Louisa Moore (Screen Zealots)

• " Deakins' work here is some of his finest, it's almost as if every frame is a painting. " – Ben Rolph (Discussing Film)
