I would call this review "Another Heartbreaking & Excellent Reason Not to Be Catholic" but someone else used it, fittingly, for the film "Philomena", another brilliant and must see film that exposes the unchristian ways of the Catholic Church. Yes I am a Christian so of course I'm not trying to make church look bad because the wickedness this film is trying to make everyone aware of has absolutely nothing to do with church. "Spotlight" is a well-crafted film that showed how the Boston Globe uncovered a huge scandal of child molestation in the local Archdiocese and how the Catholic Church tried to cover it up. I can see why this film won an Academy Award for best writing and original screen play, also the performances brought on by Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, and Michael Keaton were fantastic. Being that this film is a true story it was disturbing how the Catholic Church went about covering up the scandal. While watching this film I was in awe. To me it was almost like the local Archdiocese was worse than the Mafia. It was amazing how much power and influence they had on the community. "Spotlight" is definitely a must see, not only because it's a great film but also what the film is about. I highly recommend this film. Please see it.
