Review of Gone Baby Gone (2007) by Compi24 — 25 Nov 2017
This directorial debut from Ben Affleck is more than just your average thriller. There's a real ethical, moral, and even borderline philosophical conundrum at the center of this piece that really helps move things along and make some of the more quiet moments that much more potent.
A movie that - really all throughout, but most especially in its final moments - asks "what is the 'right thing to do' in this situation?" and presents a vast array of reasons for every option, giving the audience a real thinker.
Yes, the performances are fantastic, the cinematography is top notch, and the music is memorable, but again, the real winners here are the more intangible aspects of the film. "Gone Baby Gone" might not be the easiest watch, but it is a recommended one nonetheless.
