Review of Changeling (2008)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for Film.com (1,892) on 30 Oct 2008

How could a story as genuinely bizarre as this one seem so generic and rambling on the screen…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 30 Oct 2008

[Jolie]'s oozing that mysterious charisma that's half dazzling intelligence and half riveting talent and half the magic of the gods of Hollywood…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Beliefnet (937) on 30 Oct 2008

Eastwood's meticulous direction and the sheer outrageousness of the story make for absorbing drama though the strangeness of the facts makes…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 30 Oct 2008

Changeling is a brilliant, demanding film, a mystery-cum-character study about which we finally have to make up our own minds…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Geoff Berkshire (602) for Metromix.com (1,085) on 30 Oct 2008

Not one of Eastwood's best films, but an engrossing tale nonetheless ... all the more compelling for its stranger than fiction credibility…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 30 Oct 2008

There are parts of the film that are far more horrifying than anything the makers of the Saw features and other gruesome terrors could ever imagine…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By David Frese (73) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 30 Oct 2008

The film slowly and deliberately builds a head of righteous indignation; along the way it becomes a sort of feminist fable…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 30 Oct 2008

You know its a bum year for movies when a director as good as Clint Eastwood takes on material as weird and wild as The Changeling and whiffs…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 30 Oct 2008

Changeling is compelling and flush with outstanding period detail, yet it can't locate the brakes, skidding from nail-biting tension into watch-checking…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 30 Oct 2008

If the film is too long and a little unwieldy in its later acts, the consummate craftsman in Eastwood glosses over that with detail and righteous…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 30 Oct 2008

Changeling is a fine-enough movie. It's just that it's aware of the fact, and neither Eastwood nor Jolie ever lets the audience forget it…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Devin Faraci (498) for CHUD (345) on 30 Oct 2008

It's hard to imagine anyone liking this meandering, boring and ultimately undercooked mess of a movie without doing some serious contortions…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 29 Oct 2008

Like listening to a great violinist scraping the bow across the strings: for the most part it's quite beautiful, but the scratches are what stand out…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Victoria Alexander (762) for FilmsInReview.com (462) on 29 Oct 2008

Eastwood abandons his unique emotional style for a drama about police corruption. Jolie should have channeled Anna Magnani…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Cynthia Fuchs (1,328) for PopMatters (2,617) on 27 Oct 2008

A movie made with awards season in mind, Changeling offers extravagant affects and overwritten speeches…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for KyleSmithOnline.com (53) on 25 Oct 2008

Could have been made in 1938 with Bette Davis…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By S. Jhoanna Robledo (697) for Common Sense Media (4,943) on 24 Oct 2008

Suspenseful drama is heartbreaking, if overlong…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 24 Oct 2008

It's long and messy, covering all the bases and then some, but it's also fantastically entertaining. Its 140 minutes feel more like 90…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 24 Oct 2008

A fascinating true-crime story, elegant period detail, and Clint Eastwood's consummate filmmaking technique mask [that]...Changeling lacks…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Ethan Alter (997) for Giant Magazine (68) on 23 Oct 2008

Changeling succeeds as both a compelling mystery and a period piece that still feels relevant today…
