Skip it tonight unless you're in the mood for a slow, ambitious slog. Despite a compelling premise and solid cast (Nicole Kidman, Jeffrey Wright), John Crowley's adaptation of Donna Tartt's beloved novel stumbles under its own weight, turning a gripping story about theft and guilt into something distant and meandering. Save your evening for something that grabs you.
Plot
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.
Director: John Crowley
Cast: Ansel Elgort, Oakes Fegley, Nicole Kidman, Jeffrey Wright, Luke Wilson
