13-year-old New Yorker Theo Decker's life is turned upside-down when his mother is killed in a terrorist attack at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Confused in the rubble of the tragedy, he steals a priceless piece of art known as The Goldfinch.

“… brilliant performances from Ansel Elgort, Oakes Fegley, Jeffrey Wright, Luke Wilson make the Goldfinch worth watching and for the gorgeous cinematography of Roger Deakins…” - The Curvy Critic
“Director John Crowley has the sensitivity and care to convey the book's emotions cinematically.” - Alan Zilberman, Washington City Paper
