It all started from this film. Before becoming the recognized director of The Town And ArgoBen Affleck had produced this first feature film drawn from a successful novel by Dennis Lehane. With a good cast (Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman …) and a shock scenario on the dark behind the scenes of the city of Boston, the film had aroused great interest with criticism and imposed respect for her peers.
First was part of it: “For a try, Gone Baby Gone turns out to be a master stroke. In less than 2 hours, Affleck establishes a without appeal diagnosis of wild liberalism, street in consciences, puts in concepts. Without dogmatism, the ex of JLO defends an enlightened humanism worthy of the Tandem Clint Eastwood-Paul Haggis. To the archiclassical structure, a linear frame sprinkled with flashback and spiced with spectacular scenes, whose great formal success owes a lot to the photography of John Toll. “
