Changeling* (15)
Odeon Colchester
In 1920s Los Angeles a single mother loses her only son, but the corrupt police force recover an impostor.
Grim weepie with good period detail, as much concerned with exposing immoral policing as the plight of its central character (who hardly breaks her mascara in spite of all the horrors heaped upon her), starting off in fairly downbeat fashion and rarely letting up from then on, with at least a mercifully happy conclusion. Powerful, interesting entertainment, for those able to take the difficult subject and the overlength.
d: Clint Eastwood
s: Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich, Jason Butler Harner, Michael Kelly, Jeffrey Donovan, Colm Feore, Eddie Alderson, Gattlin Griffith
