The Citizen
Annette Bayne quote iconWhen is doing the right thing the wrong thing? Ben Affleck tosses the movie-going audience a whole lot of moral ambiguity to mull over in his new gritty drama Gone Baby Gone.

eye Weekly
Jason Anderson quote iconA solid companion piece to Mystic River and David Fincher's Zodiac, Gone Baby Gone is a superior American crime drama.

ReelViews
James Berardinelli quote iconGone Baby Gone is powerful stuff — a movie that derives its plot twists from moral conundrums rather than from narrative sleight of hand.
