The Changeling Review Summary
Changeling is a "very moving portrayal of a woman's struggle to find her lost son." Angelina Jolie stars in this "true story that takes place in Los Angeles in the late 1920's," and is directed by Clint Eastwood . Fans of the movie find it "truly emotional and intense," and some fans go as far as to say Changeling is "the best movie I have ever seen." Not every fan enjoyed the emotions and intensity of the film, though, as one fan reports walking out feeling abised seeing the film. Other fans stress that you should weigh carefully your reasons for wanting to see Changeling, and if you like true stories but like to see them "glossed over," you should skip it, but if "you can tolerate some deep conent," then Changeling is for you. It seems to match the intensity of Jolie's more rencent films such as Wanted and Beowulf.

We walked out on The Changeling, disgusted and horrified.
What a disappointment, to wait all week to go see a movie, carefully select the one you want from the descriptions and "star" ratings, then pay big bucks to go inside and get . . .
disgusted and freaked out. I don't believe in paying money...

The movie Changling, starring Anglelina Jolie is an amazing true story about a young single women rising a young son on her own, after being abandon by her husband. The young mother provide a stable loving home for her son, teaching him values and "Never start a fight, but also finish it" words she herself would have follow through on one day. The mother was called into work leaving her son alone. When she returned her son was gone, after calling the police which in the 1920 were crocked and gave little concern for a missing boy. She never gave up hope and continued to hound the police for leads....

This movie explored every single emotion I can possibly think of. The entire 1st half of the movie had me completely frustrated and mad! I actually felt the pain and the frustration that she was going through. I usually don't like movies that are extremely long but I feel differently in this case. I don't believe they could have made this movie any shorter to keep it as good as it was. Angelina Jolie did an outstanding job capturing every single emotion that a mother would feel in her circumstance perfectly! Without ruining the movie for anyone, all I can say is this is an absolute wonderful movie....

The Changeling is a great movie about a mother, played by Angelina Jolie whose son is kidnapped. The story continues as the local police find a boy who resembles her son and suggest she take him home to try. This is not her son, but he wants to be. To see how this film ends, you should go watch it.
If you missed it at the movies, may I suggest you rent it when you can.
This was a great movie from start to finish. Shocking that it is a true story and these events actually occured. Very good acting, especially by the supporting cast. The old cars and outfits were great too.
