Genre:

Los Angeles, 1928: On a Saturday morning in a working-class suburb, Christine said goodbye to her son, Walter, and left for work. When she came home, she discovered he had vanished. A fruitless search ensues, and months later, a boy claiming to be the nine-year-old is returned. Dazed by the swirl of cops, reporters and her conflicted emotions, Christine allows him to stay overnight. But, in her heart, she knows he is not Walter. As she pushes authorities to keep looking, she learns that in Prohibition-era L.A., women don't challenge the system and live to tell their story. Slandered as delusional and unfit, Christine finds an ally in activist Reverend Briegleb, who helps her fight the city to look for her missing boy.

I's one of those stories which if it wouldn't be stated onthe begining that it's based on true events you would never believe. Very moving and terryffing movie. Eastwood has made a great gripping and powerful piece of cinema (from his previous movies I would personally compare it to "Mystic River") and Angelina Jolie created outstanding performance of suffering mother for whom hope is the only thing that keeps her alive.
