Deserved to win Best Picture

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2018)

Spotlight is a well-made film. It even contains one of my favorite actors, John Slattery of Madmen fame. He was perfectly cast for this film, since he was a native Bostoner. The issue of the Catholic Church consistently and constantly covering up child abuse by priests has been with us since the first Catholic school was established in the US. I went to a Catholic elementary school, and our priests were as clean as a whistle. But a lot of other schools and priests were not. That is why this film is so important. Keaton has more recent success (in addition to Birdman) and now his career is completely back on track. Highly Recommended
