Surprised by Jolie's acting in this movie.


This is probably the only film where I've viewed her as her character, Christine Collins, rather then Angelina Jolie playing her character. Anyone else think this is her best movie (in terms of her acting)?

I think it is a miscast.

She was great in this!

i don't know about the miscast part because i had no prior knowledge of the premise of the movie until i watched it. i actually didn't watch it for so long because of angelina jolie and she's never done anything i liked, and definitely not something that she was the star of. i was pleasently surprised with her performance in this tho

Same here! I heard of Changeling ages ago but wasn't too sure about watching it because of my personal dislike towards her. However her performance was touching and I don't think she was miscast. It's actually nice seeing her in a film where she's not having sexual relations with anyone... I think this and Girl, Interrupted are her best films.

She's amazing in this movie.

She was great and after I watched the movie I checked on here to see who the actress was (skipped credits) and was suprised to see it was her. No shots zooming in on her figure etc. she was just used for acting ability.

reply

You didn't realize it was her? She's pretty much an A-list actor.

her performace sends shivers down my spine, she was fantastic. she truely was a mother in this film (sorry for my spelling)

reply

I agree. After had watching it, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to play the part.

I was surprised how well she did. I've never really liked her in any other movies I've seen.

She definitely gave her best performance in Changeling. I was deeply moved by her character.

reply

I agree, I watched this film this evening and I thought she was excellent in it.
