Gone Baby Gone

A great movie that captures the struggles that lie between what’s right and what’s wrong and whether there’s a gray area. The ending just kills me.

This film is so disturbing in some spots! the mystery is unexpectedly uncovered that it makes you upset that it is. Patrick should of left it alone! Watch it you will understand what I mean. Great film!

I’ll be honest, this movie took me on a weird ride as a viewer. I had heard good things about it and I’m kind of on a mission to watch all of the critically acclaimed movies I haven’t seen yet so I had high hopes. But I got to a place eventually where even though things were happening, the movie didn’t have me bought in. It didn’t feel all that cohesive. It felt like they were introducing things and people that didn’t matter. There was a moment though where I realized I was looking at the movie wrong, and things started clicking, and when it felt like the movie was about to end, it kept going, and provided further clarity and perspective that made the movie interesting to me again. I walked away with a positive assessment of the movie overall but there was a lot about it I could’ve done without. Regardless, I don’t believe it’s a movie you’ll be disappointed with if you give it a chance.
