Gone Baby Gone
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.

60 of 88 · most liked firstBooks to films 📚=🎞️ Gone Baby Gone (1998) by Dennis Lehane was adapted in 2007 by director Ben Affleck. The film compresses the story for the visual medium deftly. A neo-noir crime thriller the film is considered a faithful adaptation dealing with difficult subject matter. 🕵️♀️💨👶 #filmsky #booksky

unlabelledView post →GONE BABY GONE (2007) Don't get me wrong: it's a good movie, but I have a strong impression that the novel by Dennis Lehane is better.
unlabelledView post →#lastfourwatched Started off with a terrific performance from Osment. Visually lovely film. Gone Baby Gone had me questioning how I would handle those situations and decisions. I'm pretty good at turning off the brain but, Geostorm was such a fucking dud though 🤣. #letterboxdfriday 📽️ 🎥 🍿
unlabelledView post →Reading Gone, Baby, Gone (also a good movie w/ Casey Affleck) by Dennis Lehane & it’s fantastic. Reading it a 2nd time actually: Book, movie, book again It’s part of a 6 book series called Kenzie/Gennaro series. The 1st book in that series is titled A Drink Before The War & was really good too!
unlabelledView post →Alphabet #bookchallenge - one book per day that you’ve read, based on the letter of the day! Today’s letter is ‘G.’ #booksky Gone, Baby, Gone LeHane's Kenzie & Gennaro series is excellent. The book was also adapted into a very good movie with Casey Affleck
unlabelledView post →Gone Baby Gone strips away a lot of unnecessary complications from Dennis Lehane's novel to make a really tight gut-punching film.

unlabelledView post →This movie and Gone Baby Gone, though perhaps tonally very differerent, sit together in the “is it possible to be racist to Irish people?” canon
unlabelledView post →Oh I absolutely love that movie and it's tremendously well acted aside from the accents haha. Gone Baby Gone also has some bad ones in another otherwise great film. Probably my favorite Boston movie.
unlabelledView post →Revisited Gone Baby Gone tonight because I wanted something cheerful. Oh wait-- I forgot how brutal that movie is (in multiple ways). Ben Affleck has multiple Oscars, he should not feel underrated & yet it feels sometimes like he's not taken as seriously as he should be. Blame the tabloids, maybe.
unlabelledView post →Gone Baby Gone. *I* wanted to see Bee Movie, but my wife and her friend wanted to see Gone Baby Gone because it took place in Boston. I still bring this up to both of them.
unlabelledView post →Every single movie he's directed has been really, really good - Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Argo, Air (I haven't seen Live by Night, the only one I heard was pretty blah) - looking forward to #Animals coming out this year
unlabelledView post →Tonight, I screened GONE BABY GONE for my little local film club. Big hit! If you haven’t seen, or not for awhile, check it out. Amy Ryan and Casey Affleck are standouts among a top notch supporting staff. 📽️ #FilmSky
unlabelledView post →Absolutely mind-blowing that from what I can see, not a single person said Morgan Freeman. Not only do you get the best film ever made, you also get Nolan's Batman, Gone Baby Gone, Million Dollar Baby, Unforgiven, Se7en, Glory, Daisy, Lean on Me, etc. My runner up would be Tom Cruise tho.

unlabelledView post →Watching Gone Baby Gone. Probably the best Boston movie ever. But they just said three decker and not triple decker.
unlabelledView post →Ben Affleck. Argo was alright (the complete whitewashing of the Iranian Revolution* aside it’s a jaunty political thriller), but look at me with a straight face and tell me Gone Baby Gone and The Town aren’t the same movie. *for a different perspective on Iran, see Persepolis (2007).

unlabelledView post →An underrated film. Affleck has a higher batting average as director than an actor with me. The two films based in Boston do a great job of making the city a character in the films. Gone Baby Gone is the other set in Boston.
unlabelledView post →"I really liked *most* of the movie. It reminded me of an even more polished 'Gone Baby Gone,' except for the first half-hour which I think was based on the script for the Aronofsky Batman movie that never got made. I'm not insane, right? Everyone else saw that, too, right?"

unlabelledView post →So many good ones!! Definitely MYSTIC RIVER is high on my list, but the 6 books of the Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro PI series are also REALLY good. (Gone Baby, Gone made it to a film.) I liked LIVE BY NIGHT a lot too (also made into a film).
unlabelledView post →The two bits from that montage I remember were Michael K. Williams being forced to say "she's gone baby, gone" in "Gone Baby Gone" and a long run of Nicholas Cage doing it in movie after movie, including him saying "I'm going to take his face... off" and screaming, "YOU GOT SNAKE EYES!"
unlabelledView post →Yes it is. And on the subject of opening monologues, I love Casey Affleck's in Gone Baby Gone. Really moving and it sets the tone for the movie. Some great films in the latter aughts.
unlabelledView post →Gone Baby Gone. Dumbest fucking movie.
unlabelledView post →Watching The Rip on Netflix and y’all be crazy talking shit on this movie. It’s one of the few times I’ve been actually raptly paying attention to a movie since The Town or Gone BaBy Gone. I dunno who the fuck the bad guy is but I’m stressed! #TheRip #Netflix
unlabelledView post →...and Ben Affleck had to endure a million "Congrats on GONE BABY GONE, great movie, dude who was in GIGLI hahahahaha" jokes while having to nod and smile. I wonder if Chloé Zhao has to start every HAMNET interview with hearing "Nice rebound after making the first MCU bomb!" jokes.
unlabelledView post →GONE, BABY, GONE (2007), dir. Ben Affleck, scrp. idem & Aaron Stockard This film from the get-go caught my attention because of the very seemingly naturalistic lighting & colouring. But the plot twists & resulting ethical dilemma?! Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

unlabelledView post →I can't remember what actually prompted me to watch this movie. It might have been having to watch "Gone, Baby, Gone" in an ethics class. I had no high hopes, though. I was wrong. This movie was fanfreakingtastic. Rosamund Pike was absolutely amazing.
unlabelledView post →Gone Baby Gone. I love this movie. It is one of my favorites. I also love Morgan Freeman's performance. His work is one of my favorite aspects of Gone Baby Gone.
unlabelledView post →Agree! GONE BABY GONE is his one great movie.
unlabelledView post →Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie specifically because he was in it? Maybe ‘Gone Baby Gone’ but all I remember about that movie was that he was in it and directed it, basically

unlabelledView post →3. One of the better depictions of closing arguments I’ve seen in a movie. 4. Strains a bit too hard to build to a Gone Baby Gone-style moral choice at the end.
unlabelledView post →Totalt unødvendig film. Langt fra The Town og Gone Baby Gone. Likevel, en hoot, som de sier der borte. Liker nok Casey Affleck bedre enn mange andre.
unlabelledView post →I am listening to Dennis Lehane’s Kenzie and Gennaro Series (I’ve read it half a dozen times) and getting excited because “Gone Baby Gone” is coming up and I know me well enough to know I’ll have to watch the movie. Yay!!!!
unlabelledView post →I like Ben Affleck the director a lot more than Ben Affleck the actor. This was a fun movie. My favorite of his was Gone Baby Gone. Not sure I can name another movie that managed to better sell the idea of a difficult choice for its protagonist.
unlabelledView post →Revisited GONE BABY GONE & didn't remember just how much the last third of the movie relies on flashbacks to events the audience never witnessed, which is fine in theory, but they are staged in the language of regular flashbacks (close-ups of "thinking") so they make it feel like the mystery cheats.
unlabelledView post →Just watched: Gone Baby Gone - 7/10 I think good performances all around except for Amy Ryan who somehow got nominated for an Oscar??? Ed Harris is capital-g Great in this cannot say why or how but I assumed this movie was like, a 50s noir thriller?

Luckily, it's so shite it can't even be offensive. Michelle Monaghan was prob cast so we'd confuse it with Gone Baby Gone, of which it is the opposite.
