Gripping, immersive, though maybe too dark

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2016)

I really enjoyed (well...) this film, it was very well shot, great cinematics in there. I believe that Clint Eastwood does a great job in directing when it comes to showing the human side of a story, but sometimes I think can be a little too much. Too dark, almost. Theacting was solid all-round, Angelina Jolie gave a very passionate performance as Christine Collins. The acting in general is quite powerful in many of the scenes and matches the tone of the film. The film does well to contrast the dark tone with brighter, more positive ones during the film. Overall I believe the film was an interesting watch and definitely one that lingers in my head for a while.
