Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
If Changeling lacks the knockout power of, say, Million Dollar Baby, it proves that Eastwood continues to seek out stories that take him places he hasn't been before -- and the audience along with him.

This is one movie where the star really is the star. And delivers a performance of which any actress can be truly proud.

rotten:
Clint Eastwood's Changeling falls into a common trap: by trying to do too much, it accomplishes too little.

rotten:
Eastwood, who has made fine movies in recent years, has got hold of a humdinger of a story. But he's too detached and lazy here.

It's a tough movie but also rewarding and inspiring: something of a quiet triumph.
