The Goldfinch (2019) is a moving drama based on Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. After a bombing at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art kills his mother, young Theo Decker survives with a small, priceless painting — a secret that follows him through years of grief, friendship, love and dangerous choices. As an adult, Theo navigates the art world and the consequences of his past in a story about loss, beauty and the objects that connect us to those we love.
