Theodore “Theo” Decker (Ansel Elgort) was 13 years old when his mother was killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tragedy changes the course of his life, sending him on a stirring odyssey of grief and guilt, reinvention and redemption, and even love. Through it all, he holds on to one tangible piece of hope from that terrible day...a painting of a tiny bird chained to its perch. The Goldfinch.
The Goldfinch arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p transfer in the aspect ratio of 1.85:1 - Roger Deakins is one of the finest living cinematographers and I was excited to see his name on the credits. This is a beautifully shot film but it is a bit muted with colors. Details are razor sharp, especially in close-ups. Excellent black levels are complemented with good shadow detail. Overall this is a great presentation. 9/10
Audio is provided by a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. - Being a drama the movie is for the most part dialogue driven and not overly aggressive. There some moments of activity in the surrounds with dynamic environmental effects. Everything is crisp and clear. No problems with pops or hissing.8/10
