Summary

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2008 retrospective continues with Clint Eastwood's "Changeling," starring Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan, Colm Feore, Michael Kelly, Jason Butler Harner, Gattlin Griffith & Eddie Alderson. Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008, the film was based on actual events, specifically the 1928 Wineville Chicken Coop murders in Mira Loma, California, and was written by J. Michael Straczynski. The film received positive reviews, and Angelina Jolie was nominated for Best Actress for her performance, along with two other craft nominations for the cinematography and art direction. What do we think of it all these years later? Tune in as Sara Clements, Dan Bayer, Alyssa Christian, and I talk about the Eastwood's direction, Jolie's performance, the cinematography, the score, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
