If she wanted to be a serious artist, they said, she should move to New York and go to art school. The description of New York as a land of misfits appealed to Lori and Jeannette, who had never truly belonged anywhere. The girls made a plan. Lori showed them some of her drawings, and they said she had real talent. One day, two filmmakers from New York City visited the older children’s school as part of a cultural appreciation tour. Among the many revelations about hopeless alcoholic visionary father Rex, introvert artistic teacher mother Mary Rose, and their four children who were always moving to avoid debt and homelessness, is the story of how Lori, the oldest child and a talented artist and linguist, had to fight hard for her autonomy, eventually escaping to New York. Hers might have been just one of many dysfunctional American family histories, had it not been for her younger sister Jeanette’s decision to write about the Walls family in the best-selling 2005 memoir The Glass Castle.
Amazing how far people can go with little help.’ This is Lori’s short but heartfelt introduction to herself in a blog post of 2012. I have become an illustrator in New York, despite the mess of a childhood I lived. Now engaged to a successful man in New York, Jeannette tries to cope with her parents' accusations that she's betraying their family's values.‘I am Lori Walls. An older Jeanette struggles to grasp with her parents' nonconformist lifestyle and the psychological abuse and poor conditions forced on her growing up. Her mother is an artist, while her father is an alcoholic who together fail to provide a permanently safe and structured environment for Jeannette and her siblings. In the movie, Larson plays Jeanette, who reflects on her nomadic and unusual upbringing with her eccentric parents. The Glass Castle is based on a best-selling memoir of the same name by Jeanette Walls, released in 2005. Larson was joined by a star-studded cast that included A-list names like Naomi Watts known for Mulholland Drive, Woody Harrelson of True Detective, Max Greenfield of New Girl, and Sarah Snook of the wildly popular HBO series Succession. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the 2017 film starred Brie Larson. The Glass Castle only shot in a few distinct locations to capture all of its scenes.
