Great drama

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2015)

This is a great movie and hard movie to watch. It follows the Boston Globes investigation into the Catholic church molestation allegations. What they uncover is widespread across not just Boston but all of America. The journalism side of the film is really well done. You really get to understand how they build such a big story and uncover it in great detail. All the actors who play the journalists working for the globe are great. Michael Keaton leads the team and he does a great job of getting to the truth of the story. You can really feel he's a real person in the story and not just acting. Rachel McAdams is also very effective as an investigative journalist who goes and interviews a lot of the victims getting to hear their stories. Mark Ruffalo is also great as a man who is desperate for the truth and his character does let his emotions get the better of him at a certain moment. But you can't blame him this is a serious issue that has plagued the Catholic church for decades. Its not a subject matter that's easy to take. But if you love a great film that is really well written on investigative journalism, then this is the film for you. Its one of the best films of the year. I highly recommend it.
