True story with good actors. That's it, that's all.

Rating: 6/10 (14 February 2016)

I am writing this review about a week after watching the movie, and I must admit I have trouble remembering what it is about. Oh yeah!! cases of sexual abuse conducted by the Church for decades and that no one in Boston ever cared to unfold, until a newspaper chief editor decides that it is time that someone takes the matter seriously. The movie has a lot of indoor scenes and a lot of conversation, which makes you think they would have no trouble turning it into a theater piece. The movie is nominated to the Oscars and that always puts a bit of extra pressure on it. After watching it, I don't feel it deserves an Oscar. However, it's full of good actors, it's a social case, a true story, and it's for all audiences.These elements are normally appreciated by the jury. So, can it win and steal the accolades? who knows? If it was in my hands, it would not even be a nomination. Still very watchable.
