Gone Baby Gone

Dir. Ben Affleck · United States of America · English

Everyone wants the truth... until they find it.

What happens

When 4 year old Amanda McCready disappears from her home and the police make little headway in solving the case, the girl's aunt, Beatrice McCready hires two private detectives, Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro. The detectives freely admit that they have little experience with this type of case, but the family wants them for two reasons—they're not cops and they know the tough neighborhood in which they all live.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"The unconvincing genre conventions in Gone Baby Gone are at odds with its authentic, lived-in atmosphere, but no one can say that Affleck hasn't looked into the depths, and the movie ends on a resonantly ambiguous note."

— David Denby

"Casey Affleck has never had a pedestal like the one his brother provides him, and he earns it."

— David Edelstein
