Prior to today's 11:30 Changeling screening at the Salle de Soixentieme. It's an Eastwood film, all right. Longish and leisurely (but not slovenly) paced. Delivers a keen sense of humanity and moral clarity. Offers a complex but rewarding story. Really nice music, as usual, that lends a feeling of warmth and assurance. Superbly acted, shot, and paced (not every movie has to feel like a machine gun). More than a few top-notch performances. Some overly black or white-ish characterizations, but not to the extent that they bug you horribly. A movie that understands itself and its subject matter completely. Aimed at adults (i.e., those 25 and over with the ability/willingness to process this sort of thing). Not a great film, but a very fine one. Terrible last line, though.
What a stylish and enthusiastic crowd. They may as well be watching it in the Bronx or Skokie or Medford, OR. I thought this fest, at least, had a more upscale vibe. The jeans some of these folks are wearing look older than Eastwood.

So what's the title? Changeling or The Exchange?

On a more serious note, a bit of the back story is dealt with in this item from our local CBC outlet: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/saskatchewan/story/2008/05/19/sask-film.html

Odd. Now it's listed as Ballistic: Exchange vs. Changeling.
