Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
joshlangg 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.
sakram I don't get it, all these positive reviews, I read the short description of the movie, I really liked the idea, it's a very sensitive subject that had to be discussed sooner or later, but 60 minutes into the movie and I dropped it, like seriously ? It's so boring, all these names thrown here and there, it's dialogue-heavy for no obvious reason, there is no important dialogue going on, just a bunch of workers, handling a case, interviewing a bunch of victims, and voilà, nothing more. I felt underwhelmed, bored to death. If it were not for the subject-matter, or the actors, this movie would get a zero. So for subject matter and actors' performances : 4/10
jasonlisa-46411 Really though...this will go down as one of the most forgettable best picture wins ever.
Gre da Vid "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.
