Changeling.

A solid film if really grueling and depressing at times (especially seeing as it's based on a true story.... though to be honest the true story is even more grim).

Beautiful period details, nice tight script by Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski, plain and straightforward direction from Clint and Miss Jolie giving a fine performance (even if she is rather miscast, she hardly looks like a working mother and always looks like a film star which is a distraction).

Well worth a watch though.
