One of the scariest movies I've ever watched.
15 years have passed, and I still can't bring myself to watch it a second time.

This film is a perfect example of true maternal love. Anjalina played the role perfectly, got used to it.. But the film was shot on real events... God, the poor children! 20 innocent children, maybe more.. The story of the Collins boy is something. We can't imagine what Miss Collins experienced. What miraculous torments, pain and suffering she has experienced in a few weeks, months, years.. God forbid anyone should experience this! After so many years, she is still trying to find her child, because in her heart lives that most important reason for believing in the future - hope. It lives in every person, but not everyone knows how to awaken it. Hope dies last. As long as faith in the future is alive in a person, hope will also be alive. It's the same with Miss Collins, she practically resigned herself, buried deep into herself everything that happened to her, fell to her lot. She has learned to live with the pain of losing her son. "Time does not heal pain, but teaches you to live with it" and it's true, Ms. Collins learned to live with it because she had faith in finding her son, the hope that he was still alive and somewhere where it was safe and believed that he would be found, or they will save you and everything will be fine. Mom will find her son and everything will be fine.. At the end of the film, they said that she continued to search for her son, with these words they gave us power over the ending, to think it out for ourselves.. "She continued to search for her son and a few years later she found him, Walter was brought by train, when he got out his mother rushed to him, and he, without wasting a second, also rushed to her. They both caught each other in their arms. Mom did not go to admire her painfully grown-up son, and he did not go to admire his beloved mother. They found each other and life got better.." - that's my ending..

It is impossible to mark Jolie... I conveyed all the emotions through the picture, as much as goosebumps...

It's a very heavy film. To understand that this is all based on real events... It's painful.
Jolie, as always, is on top. So convey every emotion...💔

The film is strong and heavy. I've watched it once and I can't do it anymore. It's scary that real events are taking place, and even scarier that all this is going on and now, at the moment, children are also suffering somewhere. 😭

Substitution is a beautiful picture and emotionally sensual movie that, I think, will not leave anyone indifferent.
Despite the fact that the film runs for more than 2 hours, it is interesting to follow the development of the story. An original and dramatic script. A dark story that reveals the behavior of a desperate man in an almost desperate situation.
The cameraman's work in the film is excellent. A lot of close-ups give the viewer a deeper insight into the heroine's experiences. Smooth transitions and successful angle changes can't help but delight the eye.
This is not an entertaining movie to which you can "crunch" popcorn. This movie will make you feel and think.

God, what a psychologically difficult film, what terrible stories happened in those days. And how could the police not see that so many children were missing?! I still have a lump in my throat, it's not possible to imagine killing more than 20 children, and this is also based on real events...I'm shocked, honestly...

what an incredible, but very frightening movie with its story... I got so involved in watching it, I didn't expect anything from it at all in the first few minutes, but I enjoyed it. I don't understand at all how you can be such an insensitive person... I feel so sorry for the children...
Jolie's game is as good as ever, it gives me goosebumps how she played here. I'm
also scared by the fact that it's all based on real events... I wouldn't wish that on anyone. 💔

We watched a movie with my husband, he was bored at first, and he doesn't like Jolie. But when the denouement began, he was already watching and worrying until the end of the film. The ending gives hope, but unfortunately, if you read the real story, she waited for her son for the rest of her life, who was never found.…

It's a terrible story. It's hard to imagine how a mother, after losing her son and experiencing this unfair and neglectful attitude from the police, stayed strong until the very end. She believed and hoped that her son was alive and she would find him someday, no matter what. It's really an example of what a mother's heart is capable of.
The most striking thing was not even the disappearance of the child, but the action of the police. Soulless assholes who are ready to do anything to hide their failure and close the case as soon as possible. Substitute the child and put the mother in a mental hospital so that everyone doesn't find out the truth...I can't imagine how fucked up you have to be to do that, but only men are truly capable of it. It's even worse to realize that it was all in real life.
I am very glad that in the end justice prevailed and she had support, together they were able to get punishment for the police. If they had performed their duties instead of wasting time bullying their mother, then perhaps the boy would still be alive.
Jolie was great, it was like she lived it all by herself. 👏
