"danger by a "dark force" should they expose their findings to the public. But with Spotlight, such things were avoided. Instead everything was kept at a "civil" level between The Boston Globe and The Church, even though you could feel an underlying dread or threat simmering throughout. I particularly liked the ending because even though the story was published and the victims finally came forward before the credits rolled, there was no big fanfare declaring how wonderful the Spotlight te"

"Spotlight story is interesting and has a good cast which performs very well, but the feeling of the story is flat. First, they are talking about abuses to children but you feel almost the whole time that they are following the lead of any other story almost as bureaucrats. There is not much of sensitivity put into the matter.

"This was a very shocking and well made film. It is about the scandal involving a cover-up of Catholic priests molesting children in the Boston area.

I am glad that a film like this won Best Picture at the Academy Awards as it had a very important message (even if I was rooting for 'The Revenant'). ★★★★"
