Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Beautifully filmed yet mostly inert, The Goldfinch mishandles its source material, flattening a complex narrative into a largely uninvolving disappointment. | 5 | |

CommonSenseMedia Tara McNamara Art-centered drama about loss has teen drinking, drug use. | 10 | |
