The Goldfinch (2019): Museum explosion. Missing painting. Traumatized boy. A coming of age tale that is worthy of the Pulitzer Prize novel. The famous painting is the hook, which eventually is at the heart of a thriller plot. But mostly this is a character study of young Theo. B+
Compare to my
review of the novel by Donna Tartt. Spoiler: I liked the movie, but I liked the novel even more.
