Eastwood Classic 30s True Story

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2009)

Eastwood makes great films - think of his body of work of the past ten years - both the modern and the WWII - and you get an oeuvre of work that will stand the test of time.
Changeling will too. A period piece of the true story of the disappearance and the subsequent false reappearance of a son that changed California's justice system is simply powerful and in places very painful, horrific, and shocking.
This is film as it should be: the filming (particularly lighting) is exemplary, the story mesmerizing and the performances are all excellent.
Not easy viewing in places it is still a rewarding view in that it offers us reminders that no matter the obstacles good can come from evil.
Recommended.
