The goldfinch

Jenny and I went to see the film of Donna Tarttt’s Goldfinch.
Reviews have been unkind possibly because they hadn’t read the book? We both enjoyed the book, and the film was true to the story although told through flashbacks and forwards, which could have made it difficult to understand.
The child actors were particularly good, but we both thought that the moments of high drama were underplayed.
Well worth seeing for us though.
