Similar to Mystic River, a book by Dennis Lehane, Gone Baby Gone follows the story of a missing little girl; brilliantly directed by Ben Affleck (which came to a surprise) and encompasses much more than the simple domino effects seen in Mystic River. This film is about a society who has lost the importance of innocence, children, and life. The cinematography is beautiful, characters rounded in perfect depth, and intimately questions the viewer's struggle between situational ethics and moral absolutes. For those who've slept on Mystic River, I highly suggest giving this one a watch. 9.0/10.
