He seems to recognize that this man was a monster. Woody Harrelson can be terrifying in the role, especially in the character’s dangerous instincts and drunken rages. Still, the portrayal of patriarch Rex Walls remains troubling. Working from a script he co-wrote with Andrew Lanham, he wisely doesn’t overplay the violence and squalor Jeannette and her siblings suffered. And Cretton’s matter-of-fact approach once again serves him well. But the depiction of Jeannette in her mid-20s renders her strangely inert she’s a passenger in her own story, often functioning at the whim of others.Īs in “Short Term 12,” which takes place at a foster-care center for at-risk teens, “The Glass Castle” doesn’t shy away from the horrors its young characters endure. Larson reunites here with Cretton, whose 2013 indie gem “ Short Term 12” was one of the movies that put her on the map. And that’s surprising given that Brie Larson plays her as an adult. “The Glass Castle” is actually more compelling in its flashbacks, when Jeannette (a mature and soulful Ella Anderson) is better fleshed-out as the family’s feisty, fearless voice of reason. But the back-and-forth structure never really works: It feels episodic rather than building momentum toward its intended moments of truth. Director and co-writer Destin Daniel Cretton’s film alternates between Jeannette’s youth and teenage years and her adulthood in 1989, when she’d seemingly found stability with a job as a New York magazine writer and an engagement to an ambitious financial advisor.

Scene by scene, in language at once harsh and poetic, she constructs a devastating picture of a society and a generation ruined by fear. Herta Müller, herself a survivor of Ceausescu's police state, speaks from intimate experience. As they do so, we see the way the totalitarian state comes to inhabit every human realm and how everyone, even the strongest, must either bend to the oppressors or resist them and thereby perish. All the narrator's friends-teachers and students of vaguely dissident allegiance-betray her, do away with themselves, or both. But their hopes are ravaged, because the city, no less than the countryside, bears everywhere the mark of the dictatorship's corrosive touch. Set in Romania at the height of Ceauescu's reign of terror, The Land of Green Plums tells the story of a group of young people who leave the impoverished province for the city in search of better prospects and camaraderie.

Reading Length provides a calculation for the word count of this book. This phenomenon establishes the framework of the novel: there is an outward point of view that leads the protagonist to a self-discovery journey. The image is the key to the beginning of the novel: the story starts with the evocation of the protagonist’s lover which makes the narrator contrast her past appearance to her mature looks (Sankey, 2014).

The creative use of the image is associated with the role of describing oneself in the novel therefore, a long time ago, the young teenage protagonist had already appreciated writing “as a means of liberation and of self-creation”.

From her earlier interactions with him in a previous novel, she’s sometimes watched over by Ethan Ransom, a former Scotland Yard Detective turned spy, who pines for Garrett from a distance and wants to protect her.
