Gone Baby Gone is a tragic yet beautiful movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2008)

Ben Affleck directs us cautiously through a movie about child abuse and misguided loyalties. Casey Affleck is excellent as Patrick Kenzie with his girlfriend Angie Gennaro played by Michelle Monaghan. They play P.I.'s searching for 4 year old Amanda McCready gone missing in South Boston.
Patrick's obsession with finding the truth eventually alienates him from those around him but is ultimately a hero for Amanda.
I feel what Ben Affleck is trying to say is how we care about the safety of children but in the process are running our own agendas of what we think is caring.
A very involving and beautiful film. - PCL
