Thumbs down, unfortunately. This is directed by Ben Affleck and stars Casey Affleck, Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris. It’s about the search for a missing child and is quite bleak. There are several twists and turns and false endings.

I didn’t like it for two main reasons: first, I could hardly make out a word Casey Affleck said (my friend said she managed to “tune in” to him as time went on) but more importantly, it is an incredibly pompous film with lots of Struggle about Big Moral Issues and I was exhausted by the end. Maybe I’m just shallow ;)

Over-rated film

I agree. A number of people whose opinions I respect really liked this one. As for me,I give Affleck credit for ambition, but that’s all.
