Watched the "Bonus Footage" about Clint Eastwood directing. Was great!

True, gripping story how a police department manipulated cases where women complained too much about the police not searching for their lost children, only to put the mothers in an insane asylum until they stopped complaining.

Tough movie to rave about. Had I not know it was based on a true story, I would have bashed this film for being over the top harsh on the main character as well as being simply unrealistic. The treatment of the mother character is so…

This was a great movie. Sad that it was a true story. The boy in the box that was discovered during that time as well. I wish they would've mentioned him. No one ever filed a missing child report. That child will always be called "Dear…

Well written, developed characters and lots of twists in the story. Another good film directed by Clint Eastwood. Great young actors and always great Angelina Jolie in a different type of role. Touching and filled with questions. Stranger…

Great story of a mom losing his child by abduction. Best acting of Angelina Jolie based on a true event story.

This is a 2008 docudrama directed by Clint Eastwood, based partly on real-life events: the 1928 "Wineville Chicken Coop" kidnapping and murder case in Los Angeles, California. A changeling is a creature found in folklore and folk…

Gee, but AJ sure knows how to turn on the waterworks--she's emoting all over the place in this film. Anyone wanting a chuckle can Google Christine Collins and compare the photo of the woman whose experience the movie is based upon with…

This is an excellent movie! Hard to believe L.A. was like this back then. Sad ending.

Very interesting true story. Corrupt L.A.. police dept. Was great to see the old cars and clothes of the era. What a sad ending. Eastwood spared no details on the killers hanging.

Based on a true story, Clint Eastwood’s gripping mystery concentrates on a botched missing child case which became a notorious cause célèbre in Los Angeles circa 1928. After her nine-year old son Walter disappears one afternoon single…

Based on actual events, “Changeling” is a well-told story. I recommend watching this film.

This being real life events! Wow! I still dont get how her son was taken, how no one seen him go missing, was he in the house when he was abducted or outside? Im glad that there were people to stand up against the Police.. :(

good acting, good story/content, put together well. Awful reality of the humans that are out their and the system'(s) flaws. And I like Angelina even if she isn't in "tomb raider" garb.

This film was so sad. I enjoyed it, but the woman never found her son. In going through all those tragedies, she did something good in exposing what was needed to be exposed, making wrong things right again. But it was sad. There was no…

An interesting film, and even topical, as the LAPD is still fighting a bad reputation. Some of the descriptions seem to cast this as a psychodrama. It's not, and, based on a true story, is all the more powerful: the plot develops, as…

I wanted to like this movie because it was another Clint Eastwood film, but I just never really got into it. It was well acted, I suppose, but I never really cared about the story. Sort of interesting because it was a true story, but…

Another well-directed film by Clint Eastwood with his fine attention to detail. This tells the story of a working class single-mother in LA during the 1920's and the corruption in the LA police. It is incredible how much of a coverup was…

pretty good I'd give it a 7.5/10

Eh. I'll give it a C minus. I watched it because it's an Eastwood film. I found the fact that it was "based on" a true story more interesting than "Big Lips" Jolie.

Not very well done. Angelina Jolie is not very good in this role.
