I am certain this movie will win awards. It is edge of your seat entertaining. I would recommend you see it on the big screen as well as dvd, just see it. You will feel the emotion that is intended for you to experience this true story.

I am surprised by all of the good reviews this movie is getting. It was so painfully slow, surprisingly gruesome and Angelina is completely unattractive and bony-looking. By the end of it I did not even care if there was hope of finding the missing son, I just wanted it to be over.

I'm not a huge fan of Angelina Jolie, but she did a great job in this film.

Great movie but not appropriate for young children. I went to the show and there was a nine year old sitting in the front row with his father. This distracted me throughout the movie.

“Changeling” is about a woman who refuses to accept the child the LAPD returns to her as a substitute after her own son has been abducted. Angelina Jolie's version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest meets Frances is nowhere as interesting as The Snake Pit. The pivotal action in the crime investigation revolves around the uncovering of a series of heinous murders —there is a Canadian connection here, and even a trip to Vancouver to track down the murderer— and the trials that follow. Director Clint Eastwood doesn’t seem to trust the audience to make up their own minds, so he makes characters root for Angelina.

Good storytelling. Especially that you know itw as based on a true story. I personnally do not think that Angelina Jolie was exactly made for the part but she still pulled it off pretty well.

Wow. I mean wow. At first I thought this is a little boring, but when the movie kept going I was more and more interested by it! This is a movie that makes me appreciate everything I have, and makes me appreciate the fact that woman have right now!!! A must see! It's brilliant.

A church should be a first place to give help, thanks to John Malkovich (the priest) who helped Angelina Jolie (The Main Character) and sacrificed his life with compassion for people. No one is perfect, but we learn from our mistakes. Please look how Angelina Jolie was suffered in the movie because of her mistake, all the mothers out there please foster well and protect well your children.

I found it a little dry and a little drawn out... overall it was an interesting story and very well acted... eventually though the movie became redundant... If you want to see it be prepared to settle in for the long haul, they really should of trimmed some of the fat off this movie.

It's incredible that this story is true. To think that only eighty years ago this kind of thing was going on -- and smiilar things could still be going on for all we know. Angelina Jolie's performance is stellar, and the director did an excellent job of heightening the sense of "aloneness" this woman must have felt. Definitely worth seeing!

Wow. I am beginning to tire of writing great reviews for Eastwood Directed movies. I prefer not to as I don't like actors crossing over into directing. But Clint has chosen another gem! A great suspenseful plot with multilayers of corruption and decay.

Disturbing, emotional, heart-wrenching, brilliant. The acting was superb and everything in the movie is accentuated by the fact that it's a true story. It was an awesome piece of cinema. It deserves all the accolades it's getting and Angelina Jolie is superb.

An outstanding portrayal of a true story that pulls at your heart and makes you feel sick about humanity. It's unfortunate about the title (thought it was a horror movie)

This movie will haunt you. The story just lingers. Thank God I don't have kids because I would be having a very difficult night otherwise. Clint eastwood always amazes me with his directing abilities. The writing was top notch. The supporting cast, Donovan, Malkovich Feore... really good. But it's the story of that woman played by Angelina Jolie which is the focus. Was Jolie able to pull it off? No she didn't pull it off... She killed it, she carried the movie, she was really fantastic. I am a fan of hers and this is the best work I ve seen from her. Kudos Mama really really good movie Thumbs Up.

It is truly an amazing and intrusive movie. I went to watch this movie with my friend. At first, I didn’t like the movie – the actress is not at all young looking and attractive. The atmosphere of the firm was old (the hair styles, fashion etc), as if I was actually watching a movie from 1950, and it is not at all entertaining, like most Hollywood movies we see nowadays. I didn’t expect myself to like the movie. But thanks to the superior acting from all characters, and the superior movie settings, I was slowly, totally immerged into the movie world until the movie ends. When I step out of the theater, I found myself suffering from light stomach ache due to the power and the intensity of the movie. Only this movie could bring such an impact on me, and I believe only the director Clint Eastwood could deliver such a powerful movie. Absolutely one of the very best and powerful movies I have ever seen for many, many years.

This was a very good movie and I usually don't rate movies very highly. This will go down as a masterpiece and nominations for awards. The acting by all of the characters was superb.

GREAT movie. Started off a bit slow, but a great story. A real peice of history to highlighting change and anti-oppression.

The Changeling is based on a true story from which the director, Clint Eastwood, has created a truly stunning film. No end to Mr. Eastwood's talent he also did the music for the film. Angelina Jolie's performance alone compels one's attention throughout this disturbing drama, the equal of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in many ways. John Malkevich's acting is subtle yet powerful, a completely believable portrayal of an ordinary man on a mission. Colm Feore held his own in the high-voltage ensemble. While The Changeling is not an easy film to watch, on Oscar night you'll be glad that you did. How did the real life cops and the medical staff once upon a time imagine that they were doing the right things in this case? I wonder... where was their empathy and decency so long ago?

The best movie I have seen in a long time. Angelina is brilliant in this movie and I would be surprised if she doesn't win an oscar for her performance. The trailer does not do this movie justice. I didn't have high expectations for this movie based on tha trailer but I was pleasantly surprised to find a captivating and riveting story. Best movi |
