The Glass Castle: 16 Things The Movie Changes From The Book

Although The Glass Castle adapts the memoir of the same name, there are quite a few things the movie changes. The overall premise still remains the same as the 2005 bestseller, in which author-journalist Jeannette Walls provided a no-holds-barred look at her dysfunctional childhood. Helmed by Short Term 12 and Shang-Chi writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton, The Glass Castle stars Brie Larson as the central protagonist while Woody Harrelson and Naomi Watts star as her parents Rex and Rose Mary. Shifting between Jeannette’s childhood and adult life, the 2017 drama touches upon how Rex and Rose’s parenting wavered from supportive to painfully tragic.
