Changeling
“To find her son, she did what no one else dared.”
Director
Clint Eastwood
Screenplay
J. Michael Straczynski
Los Angeles, 1928. When telephone operator Christine Collins returns home to find her young son gone, a corrupt police department eager for good press hands her back a boy she insists is not hers. Her refusal to accept the lie sees her branded hysterical and institutionalized, even as a horrifying truth begins to surface. Clint Eastwood directs a restrained, harrowing true-crime drama that indicts institutional cruelty and a mother's unbreakable resolve. Angelina Jolie gives a wrenching, controlled performance at its heart, and the film's period detail and mournful tone make its account of injustice all the more devastating and quietly furious.
