It’s not too long to feel bored, it’s full of symbolism, great cinematography, performances, the most notably by Nicole Kidman and Okaes Fegley while Ansel Elgort does his best to capture the dark past of his childhood which he flawlessly carries with himself throughout his youth. Read more

Ambitious and undeniably gorgeous to look at, The Goldfinch is a sprawling mess that never finds the rhythm it needs to really come alive as a film. Read more

So although isolated scenes showcase what could have been, frustratingly the picture as a whole never reaches its full potential. What should have been an emotionally affecting drama has sadly ended up being an at times painfully dull cinematic adaptation. Read more

This story, in movie form, fails to make one care. Anything that lingers feels extraneous at best. Read more

Thanks chiefly to Roger Deakins' cinematography, The Goldfinch is a well polished reproduction, but it's far from genuine. There's no life here. Read more

One of 2019’s biggest bore fests. I expected more out of this and instead what I got was something so filled with doubts you could smell it on the entirety of the project. Read more

The Goldfinch is een dappere poging om het gelijknamige boek van Donna Tartt naar het witte doek te brengen, maar weet daar slechts gedeeltelijk in te slagen. Read more

The Goldfinch is zeker niet slecht gemaakt, maar je vraagt je continu af wat de bedoeling precies is. Dat nadenken en overal een betekenis achter zoeken is vermoeiend. Dagen later blijft The Goldfinch nog steeds een raadsel. Geen fijne, maar zo'n irritante waarbij je de oplossing al niet eens meer hoeft te weten. Read more

The Goldfinch wordt uiteindelijk nooit meer dan de som der delen. Zo blijkt maar weer eens dat lijvige boeken zelden tot boeiende films kunnen worden bewerkt, tenzij je als filmmaker bereid bent grote delen weg te snoeien. Die bereidheid was hier waarschijnlijk ver te zoeken. Read more
