Critic's review of Gone Baby Gone

- Mr. Affleck is already deep into the character right from the start....One of the graces of GONE BABY GONE is its sensitivity to real struggle, to the lived-in spaces and worn-out consciences that can come when despair turns into nihilism

  The lead character draws you into the story
  
  You get drawn into the main character from the start. But stick with it, it has even more to offer with a second burst storyline.

  Foul language abounds
  
  We settled down to watch this film, but switched off after less then 10 minutes. Be warned: the foul language is apalling and used in just about every sentence ... read more »

  Thought provoking film - not for viewing when tired...
  
  Great film. Not a normal American back-and-white, everything-is-clearly-sorted-out movie - and that might explain some of the other reviews here....

  Unbelievably Good Debut.
  
  Hard to imagine that Ben Affleck actually directed this.
  
  It's nothing short of perfection.
