Popcorn Culture - Review: The Goldfinch

Based on Donna Tartt's complex novel about trauma, grief and art, The Goldfinch tackles the tale of Theo Decker, and what happens after he survives a bomb explosion in a museum that kills his mother. In the process, he also inadvertently steals a painting, and it's this act and its consequences that will come to haunt him. The Goldfinch was said to be an unfilmable novel, with its layered narrative and difficult characters - in this episode of Popcorn Culture, we see if that's true.
