Absolutely the worst movie.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

There are two films to see if you are studying to be a journalist. Spotlight is one and then there is "All The Presidents' Men" about the abuse of power in the highest offices. Spotlight recounts how the Boston Globe uncovered not only the abuse but the massive cover-up to the Cardinal to protect their pedophile priests which became the first story in a worldwide scandal about abusive priests. We are now hearing about nuns being abused by priests. As a lifelong Catholic, I was fortunate that I wasn't a victim of such abuse. This film isn't about the abuse although horrible and massive to have thousands of survivors come forward but it is about the institution of the Catholic Church who abused their power in failing to protect vulnerable, innocent children from such horrific abuse. I know that the Catholic Church is not infallible. They are at fault for allowing such heinous but crimes but they are not alone. There are other religious organizations who have survivors coming forward about their own abuse. I hope that they don't stop coming forward. Boston was a heavily Catholic city with a strong Catholic influence in its politics and history. Boston was the hometown of the Kennedys and other Irish Catholics. The Catholic Church's power was finally brought down by a newspaper named the Boston Globe who I pray never goes out of business. This is why the press is so important. The cast was first rate and the film won the Best Picture Academy Award.

This is such a phenomenal film. The soundtrack. The acting. The script. The authenticity. I think that liev schreiberand Rachel Mcadams both give their best performances of their careers in Spotlight. Mark Ruffallo should have won an Oscar for his performance. "It's time! It's time!". That moment released so much angst and gave me chills. Michael Keaton was also fantastic, of course. Howard Shore gave so much life to the movie through music and it rivals the work that he did on The Lord of the Rings.10/10 5 Stars Two thumbs up Must watch Best film Oscar winner!I rest my case.

I really loved this movie! Great actors that did an amazing job, fascinating plot that really drives you in and get you invested, it's beautifully shot and really gives the movie its feel. So if you're a sucker for unsolved crimes and unlikely villains this is absolutely not going to disappoint and definitely worth the watch!

"Spotlight" details the people, methods, and investigative processes surrounding a newspaper's desire to expose, detail, and reveal the molestation of children by Catholic priests in the Boston, MA area in the 1970s. The value of the film demonstrates the procedures and policies that true investigative reporters will follow in order to find facts that can be revealed in order to assure accuracy that cannot be mitigated. It's hard work, classifying, categorizing, detailing, fact-checking, and memorizing real-time and historical information just to write an exposé that overcomes "just-to-sell newspapers" column. A film well worth viewing.
