The film is adapted from the 2005 memoir by Jeannette Walls.
Following roles in a big-budget blockbuster (Kong: Skull Island) and a retro action indie (Free Fire), Brie Larson returns to the genre that won her an Oscar—the heart-rending book adaptation—with The Glass Castle. Based on the 2005 memoir by Jeannette Walls, the movie follows a young career woman (Larson) attempting to establish a life in New York City while coming to terms with a freewheeling childhood spent on the run with her eccentric parents (Woody Harrelson and Naomi Watts).
It's a bit early for Oscar predictions, but The Glass Castle is already being hailed as one of the must-see movies of 2017, so don't be surprised if Larson, Harrelson or Watts (or even all three) land a nomination for this movie.
The Glass Castle hits theaters August 11.
