Title: The Goldfinch
Review: Beautifully rendered interpretation of a masterpiece book by Donna Tartt which I reviewed many years ago. Fegley and Elgort are wonderful as the young and older Theo Decker- a young man who loses his mother in a terrorist attack inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and in his shock and trauma makes off with three-hundred-year old art masterpiece. The cast is dead on for the book and the reflections of life as art take us on whirlwind story. I loved the book, and the film surprisingly does it justice.
