Changeling

More or less a glorified “Lifetime” movie. Angelina Jolie cries in every scene. Clint Eastwood was the wrong director for this movie, and the moments that needed a light touch are handled with the subtlety of a jackhammer. You know there’s a problem when it’s based on a true story, yet the whole thing feel histrionic and preposterous. If something really happened, it shouldn’t be treated like a cliché. The movie leaves many unanswered questions, too. It’s well-shot, but it could have used the delicate hands of Ang Lee or Paul Greengrass.
