Twitter Capsule:
Choppy, unconvincing adaptation of Tartt's Pulitzer winning coming-of-age novel about a boy growing up after losing his mother in a museum bombing. Elegantly photographed and well cast but too faithful to the kind of narrative turns that work well in novels but feel contrived on film.
