Recommend that you catch they 11:30am ferry from Circular Quay that will get you to Manly at 12pm and then you could pick up something fast for lunch and eat it by the water before you come to the cinema. I will be catching the 11am ferry so I have time to have a wander around Manly.
Here's the details of The Changeling.
Clint Eastwood (Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby) directs Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich in CHANGELING - a provocative drama based on actual events. Los Angeles, 1928: On a Saturday morning in a working-class suburb, Christine (Jolie) said goodbye to her son, Walter, and left for work. When she came home, she discovered he had vanished - kidnapped? A fruitless search ensues, and months later, a boy claiming to be the nine-year-old is returned. But, amidst the frenzy of the photo-op reunion, she realizes this child is not hers. Facing corrupt police and a skeptical public, she desperately hunts for answers, only to be confronted by a truth that will change her forever. Dazed by the swirl of cops, reporters and her conflicted emotions, Christine allows him to stay overnight. But in her heart, she knows he is not Walter. As she pushes authorities to keep looking, she learns that in Prohibition-era L.A., women don't challenge the system and live to tell their story. Slandered as delusional and unfit, Christine finds an ally in activist Reverend Briegleb (Malkovich), who helps her fight the city to look for her missing boy. Based on the actual incident that rocked California's legal system, CHANGELING tells the shocking tale of a mother's quest to find her son, and those who won't stop until they silence her.
So come for a nice ferry ride, a good movie and then coffee and discussion by the water.

Well done Ken, a great experience and powerful movie - when people in power and social forces are more insane than the declared insane.
