The only thing I knew about this movie before watching it was that it was based on true events and it involved police abuse of a mother looking for her missing child.
Single mother comes home from work in 1928 to find her son missing. First the police make her wait 24 hours before they will take her report, then after months they try to make her accept that a boy 3 to 4 inches shorter than her son is her son, who has shrunk from the trauma of the events. She points out several other discrepencies and when she becomes too much trouble they have her locked up in a hospital ward that must have employed half the sadist in LA at the time.
Jolie was good in this role (I am not usually a fan of hers but she did a really good job in this film.) I kept hoping Walter would come home so I was thrown by a loop when they brought up the killings at the ranch (I had never heard of them before.)
If you like your movies filled with twists in the plot line, suspense, and a bit of true crime thrown in this is one for you.
