Review of Spotlight

Spotlight (I) (2015)
9/10
Break the silence
16 January 2016
Spotlight is a true story about the reporters of Boston Globe that are uncovering decade long story about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. Everyone heard these stories, but everyone remained silent. There are dozens of Catholic abusive priests and hundreds of sexual abuse allegations against minors that never been public.

Incredible story. I've heard many times about scandals in Catholic Church, but I never thought it was this big. A story that should have been told, and I'm happy that I've learned about this history and I'm happy that a movie about it is made.

It's a great writing job from Josh Singer and Tom McCarthy. I have to say I've seen two hour movie one meter away from TV in a stool. During the whole movie I was 100% focused on the film and I didn't want miss any single thing. Tom McCarthy did also a wonderful directing job. I haven't seen a lot of movies this year, but from what I've seen, Tom McCarthy got my Oscar.

Another strong praise goes to the actors, especially Mark Ruffalo. Michael Keaton and Rachel McAdams was great too.

I've just started to watch Oscar films and I think I've chosen the best one to watch first. It's very dramatic, touchy, tragic, with a great story, great directing, great acting.
