Anyone else see this?

I dug it. Nice clothes, creepy, long, and best of all, no romance.

Honestly, probably one of the saddest movies i've seen this year. Great, but sad.
The clothes were awesome, and the acting was overall, excellent.

Absolutely agree. My girlfriend was inconsolable during and after this movie.

I'm seeing it this week, I hope. Ugh, I've been dying to see it for awhile now, and when I tried two weeks ago (saw that it was open limited release), my hag and I tried to see it. Well, it wasn't playing where we went, so we ended up seeing that abortion of a movie "Passengers."

just saw it this last weekend. what a great movie. i think this should have been a heavier contender for best picture.

that lawyer who worked pro bono wore the best suits. i love the style of the 20s and 30s in the US.

There was a Changeling movie that was made a while back, one of the scariest movies i've ever seen without any blood spilling in it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Changeling_(film) I haven't seen the more recent movie, but this one i believe has a similar premise. A child was switched for another?

Great movie. The acting was very good and solid. Very worth seeing but it was extremely sad.

yes. the child was switched.

one of the sub premises of this movie was the power men have and how they use it.

it is absolutely horrifying when powerful men use it to snuff out the weak.

but so beautiful when they use it to uplift the weak. like the John Malkovich pastor character and the pro-bono working lawyer. i wish to be like these men.

i just saw it and loved it. i generally like movies shot in the 20-30's. i love that time period. the only thing i couldnt stand was the kid. the one who confessed. was he the directors son? he had to be because he was the worst actor ever! everything he did i could see in brackets on the script. (start to cry), We killed them! I swear! (cry while looking down at the table) i think you get my point.

Watched it just last night. Really riveting, very sad, left me feeling drained.

Didn't realize it came out already. Wanted to watch it because Jeffrey Donovan is in it.
