We rented a great movie tonight on DVD. Some of you may be interested in watching it as well. It is called THE GLASS CASTLE (2017) and stars Woody Harrelson. He should get an award for his acting as the father, as should Ella Anderson who plays his young daughter Jeannette Walls.

That daughter in real life wrote a book about growing up in a poor, extremely dysfunctional and nomadic family. The movie based on that book is dark and depressing at times, but it is actually redemptive. The Walls children show such strength, banding together as they grow up to survive their crazy family life, eventually turning out to be sane and happy adults.
