The Goldfinch
The story of a stolen life.
Directed by John Crowley
Produced by Color Force, Amazon Studios
A melancholic, introspective drama about trauma, guilt, and moral compromise, anchored by a stolen masterpiece and a boy's fractured coming-of-age.
A boy in New York is taken in by a wealthy family after his mother is killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In a rush of panic, he steals 'The Goldfinch', a painting that eventually draws him into a world of crime.
