If Changeling hit the spot, these will too

Clint Eastwood working the same nerve twice
The difference: Reviewed even better

Common ground in both: biography and missing child
The difference: Sits closer to documentary than Changeling does

The same mix in both: grit, then stillness


Drama with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Contemplative mystery in both cases

Crime built on twists, twice over

Both lean on grit more than on drama

Contemplative mystery, and it commits to that

Both lean on twists more than on crime

Cut from the same drama cloth

The same hand behind both of them: Clint Eastwood
