Beautifully shot and well-acted, Changeling is a compelling story that unfortunately gives in to convention too often.

There are moments when it seems as if it wants to be an inspirational story about a person who refuses to be beaten by a corrupt system -- but it doesn't, in the end, settle for the uplifting narrative. February 13, 2009 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Eastwood is a director made for melodrama and this one proves a lot juicier than Gran Torino, with its dry, dogged sense of righteousness. February 5, 2009 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Changeling, like Letters from Iwo Jima before it, is a mature, thoughtful and sometimes brutal movie that casts a cold eye on the past while sending shivers through the present. November 28, 2008 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

What a bold, virile, operatic piece of film-making from this 78-year-old director. He is now well into a remarkable late period, and I sense we ain't seen nothing yet. November 28, 2008 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Changeling fails because, despite its awful subject matter, it isn't very moving. Eastwood is too classical, too restrained a director to get inside his characters; they feel like well-costumed showroom dummies. November 28, 2008 | Full Review…

The shallowness and falseness of Changeling's perspective-its skewed presentation of certain social ills-imparts to the film an unsavory, misanthropic quality. September 2, 2020 | Full Review…

Eastwood may be aiming for a more restrained and dignified sort of period drama with Changeling, but here he's all surface, preferring the familiar scheme of evil and good, crime and punishment, over delving deeply into character or meaning. January 27, 2020 | Full Review…

Yes, Changeling is a well-made film, but "slick," not "substantial," is the word to describe it all. December 12, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
