Brie Larson stars as Jeannette Walls, the celebrated New York gossip columnist, who experienced a truly bohemian upbringing by her unconventional parents. She and her three siblings had a wild and carefree upbringing, but along the way they learnt how to fend for themselves in ways their parents couldn't.

Based on the bestselling, extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, nothing short of spectacular (Entertainment Weekly) autobiography from one of the world's most gifted storytellers, Jeannette Walls.

The Glass Castle is tale of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant.

When sober, Jeannette is brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and did not want the responsibility of raising a family.

The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered.
