MovieMail's Review

James Oliver believes this to be one of the best American films of the year - find out why in his review.

Clint Eastwood’s reputation as king of the Alpha Males sometimes obscures his talents as an exceptional director of women. From Play Misty for Me to the underrated The Bridges of Madison County, Clint’s always had an eye for a feisty lady. Changeling gives him his finest heroine yet. She’s Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie, thoroughly deserving her Oscar nod), a single mother in 1920s Los Angeles whose life is shattered when her son Walter vanishes. And the torture doesn’t end when the police announce they’ve found the lad: the child they return certainly isn’t Walter Collins. But the LAPD don’t want to be bothered by troublesome females and can make things difficult for any who try...

Based on a true story, J Michael Straczynski’s superb script spirals out from domestic tragedy into civic corruption and, ultimately, more grisly realms. Eastwood handles all this with aplomb, laying out the story with masterful clarity, never losing sight of Christine amidst the larger machinations. It’s one of the best American films of the year.

Film Description

Clint Eastwood directs this thriller based on true events that took place in 1920s California. Angelina Jolie stars as Christine Collins, a mother who thinks her prayers have been answered when her kidnapped nine-year-old son is returned to her. However, she quickly realises that the boy with whom she has been reunited is not in fact her son. She must now face a corrupt police force and a seemingly immovable legal system to continue the fight to find her own son. Slandered by the press as unstable and delusional, she eventually finds an ally in activist Reverend Briegleb (John Malkovich), who helps her take on the authorities and track down her missing son.
