Baby’s Beantown mystery benefits from Ben Affleck proving he’s a decent director with a knack for nailing the local Boston color of Dennis Lehane’s book. Then it comes time to wrap things up and splat. Go to Full Review Christopher Orr The New Republic 09/18/2008
Gone Baby Gone is an argument for obligation over accommodation, the absolute over the contingent. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International 07/23/2008
Director Ben Affleck displays sensitivity to his story's thematic undercurrents, but he hasn't yet developed the authorial voice needed to enliven the conventional plotting. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 04/02/2023
4/4
An affecting morality play that leaves us pondering the movie for days. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/24/2020
7/10
What it lacks in catharsis it makes up for in gritty realism and tense moral struggles. Go to Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter 05/26/2020
The denizens of the Affleck brothers' furious adaptation of Dennis Lehane's excursion into the lower depths of Boston's Southie Irish hood are loud, uncouth, hyperviolent and endlessly fascinating. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Pongo K @RT48921889 Jun 20 You just have to se this movie. Simple as that. See more doug B @RT51901769 Jun 18 Fabulous film! Great acting!!! See more S. O @Col._Angus Jun 12 A powerful story, with the guts to not necessarily end happily. There are many twists and turns which can be hard to keep up with; I had to go back and watch a couple of scenes more than once. Also, I watched this without subtitles, so a fair amount of the dialogue was Baaaaaaaaston-brogue/undistinguishable. See more Zane T @ZaneThind Jun 10 An amazing look into the Boston class working neighbourhood with great performances all around. The direction and music is terrific as well. A great look at morals, ethics, and police corruption as well. Those final few minutes stick with you and make you really think. See more John H @JohnHaba May 27 This movie has a lot to recommend it, in particular the direction, fine acting, the strong sense of place created by the cinematographer and director. However, the main story line in the end makes no sense. There's this real thing called Child Protective Services. Call them and report if someone is a terrible Mom and does nothing to hide the fact. See more Christina D. @NinaNinaBobina May 3 In my top 10 movies of all time. Fantastic ensemble cast, haunting and captivating story that will leave you trying to reckon with the ending See more Read all reviews
