ADHD-DVD, Episode #10: Gone Baby Gone

This week, as Ben Affleck's latest directorial effort AIR drops on Amazon Prime, we're finally popping in a DVD J Mo's been hauling around for nearly 15 years now: 2007's Gone Baby Gone, Affleck's debut in the director's chair -- from a script he co-wrote as well -- starring Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Amy Ryan, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman. Based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, coming hot off the heels of the critical success of Mystic River, Affleck's first film is morally ambiguous, thought provoking and emotionally evocative, and we had a nice time discussing its many strengths while avoiding getting bogged down in the grim details of its plot. PLUS: Justin's got another theatre report, this time on Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3.

If you'd like to watch the film before listening, it is streaming on Netflix in Canada at the time of publication.

We'll be back next week with the Jake Gyllenhaal self-destruction dramedy Demolition, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee.
