Spotlight makes you think about faith and beliefs, both in religion and mass media

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2016)

Spotlight is a true story based on how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.
This film will make you think again about faith and beliefs, both in religion, as well as mass media. The length the director goes to achieve a sense of authenticity is remarkable. With an all-star cast including Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams and Stanley Tucci, Spotlight shines a light on one of the biggest investigations in history.
The story is compelling, the acting is unnoticeable, and the script seems to flow the way a real conversation would. However, even though the film had a remarkable story, it was quite predictable.
A negative: There is no inspiring cinematography or unique dialogue floating off the screen. I've seen darker lifetime movies than this, and the whole movie is entirely built on conversations.
