The “Baby Driver” star plays Theo Decker, a boy taken in by a wealthy family following the tragic death off his mother. The film is based off the bestselling novel by Donna Tartt, however, its adaptation to the big screen has left critics hugely unimpressed, sitting at 26% on Rotten Tomatoes and a measly 40 on Metacritic, with the majority of reviews calling the film ‘fragmented’ at best. And whilst Elgort acknowledged that all the reviews are “great articles”, he also believes critics have “decided that pointing out everything wrong with the film is the best way to write their reviews’.” Either way, if you’re one of the seemingly limited amounts of people that have seen “The Goldfinch,” and enjoyed it, or hated it, then good. This is an industry built on opinions and subjectivity and without these types of clashes criticism wouldn’t exist. Though don’t tell Ansel Elgort’s Mother you didn’t like her son’s new film, as according to the actor “She really liked this one” and was moved by it. Here’s to you Mrs Elgort. Contribute Hire me
