Changeling

Genre: Drama/Mystery/Suspense

Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich in a provocative thriller based on actual events: Changeling. In the film, Christine Collins' (Jolie) prayers are met when her kidnapped son is returned. But amidst the frenzy of the photo-op reunion, she realizes this child is not hers. Facing corrupt police and a skeptical public, she desperately hunts for answers, only to be confronted by a truth that will change her forever.

Well, this movie is a based on a true story and is set in 1928 in Los Angeles. Though the movie is slow and dark, Angelina Jolie's performance shines and is outstanding. No wonder she is nominated for so many 'Best Actress' awards. Over all this movie is worth watching once if you can bear the slow pace drama movies.



My rating: 8.25/10. (6 or less- Avoid, 6 and above- OK types, 8 and above- worth watching once, 9 and above- very good and must watch)
