I don't give a "10" to any film. I rate Spotlight a Ten!

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2016)

Some will have agendas when watching this terrific film, and understandably so. This is a painful topic to delve into.
Reviewers' bias (pro or anti-Catholic, experience with child abuse, etc.) may be reflected in their ratings. But here's what you need to know: This is the best done drama I've seen in years -- on stage, TV or in the movies. And to top it off, the movie very closely adhered to the facts of this amazing true story (check Google for verification).
This flick is what movie-making SHOULD be about, but seldom is. And it also is a reminder to the press to carry out their investigative obligation -- a function that today seems to be atrophying.
