First Goldfinch Trailer Stars A Heartbroken Ansel Elgort

We've routinely had our suspicions that Ansel Elgort is a heartbreaker, although right now we know for sure.


Elgort dazzles in the opening hypnotic tearjerker of a trailer for The Goldfinch, which is guaranteed to get you through at least an entire box of Kleenexes a half-hour immediately after sitting down in the movie theater.


The trailer is moving, somber, filled with some of the most tender, heartrending moments you'll have seen in a film over the last few months.


Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by author Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch is a coming-of-age tale named right following the Dutch Golden Age painting of the same name. Soon after protagonist Theodore Decker (Elgort) loses his mother while in a terrorist bombing at an art museum, he happens upon The Goldfinch while combing via debris, dazed and heartbroken. It's the last segment of the final time he saw his mother, and so he holds onto it as a symbol of hope.


from then on, unfortunately, Theo's life takes a much different path as he spirals into a new world rife with "grief, guilt, reinvention, redemption, and even love." He later starts living in Las Vegas with his deadbeat father Larry Decker (Luke Wilson), and eventually finds himself entangled in the seedy, underground world of art forgeries.


Accompanied by a gorgeous Perfume Genius track, this first look at The Goldfinch is positively arresting, and even in case you haven't read the book, you'll be immediately entranced.


The movie will bring with each other the legendary Nicole Kidman with an all-star cast including the aforementioned Elgort, Aneurin Barnard, Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard, American Horror Story's Sarah Paulson, and Jeffrey Wright.


in the event you needed a reason to cry it out today, this arresting trailer will definitely give it to you – and then some. The Goldfinch is headed to theaters on September 13, 2019.
