The plot: Jeannette Walls (Brie Larson), now a successful
businesswoman, reminisces about her childhood. Specifically, being raised
alongside her sisters Lori (Sarah Snook) and Maureen (Brigette Lundy-Paine) and
her brother Brian (Josh Caras) by their mother Rose Mary (Naomi Watts) and Rex
(Woody Harrelson). As she recollects her family’s secluded and rather destitute
living conditions, and sees her parents’ current living conditions, she has to
come to terms with what they did to her and her siblings, both the good and the
bad.
