“The Glass Castle” (*** out of four) was a quietly powerful adaptation of Jeannette Walls’ (Brie Larson) memoir about her upbringing in a dysfunctional family with nomadic parents (Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson) through the South and Midwest and the film cross-cuts back and forth from her childhood to seeing her as an adult who struggles to move on in life. Film never soars and excels to full emotional power but is full of poignant moments and anchored by strong performances, especially Harrelson and Larson. Not a great film but a small winner all around. Stay with film through final credits as it shows you photographs and film footage of the real Jeannette Walls and her family.
