About this movie

Critics are calling Ben Affleck's directorial debut "mesmerizing" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). When two young private detectives (Casey Affleck (Good Will Hunting) and Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible III) are hired to take a closer look into the mysterious disappearance of a little girl, they soon unravel a multitude of twists and turns where nothing is what it seems. Ultimately they must risk everything; their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives in the search to find her. Casey Affleck and Morgan Freeman are electrifying, and Amy Ryan (Capote) delivers "a vibrant, knockout performance" (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times) in this edge-of-your-seat crime drama. Gone Baby Gone "will have you talking long after it's over" (Christy Lemire, The Associated Press).

Ratings and reviews

And possibly his best film to date. The cast do a great job. The story is from the same writer of Mystic River so you can't go wrong.

Even if contrived, this is uncomfortable but gripping and provocative.

One of the best films you'll see. Gripping and really makes you think. Powerful
