An outstanding film that never lets you go, even when you leave the theater.

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2016)

Spotlight is a very powerful drama, featuring a very important subject.
The film has a fast pace, where the story moves forward rapidly, always with a great atmosphere of suspense and mystery. It's very climatic, as you keep finding new information and revelations until the very end.
To say the cast is outstanding is an understatement. Everyone gives perfect performances, but Mark Ruffalo shines just a bit brighter, his performance is truly amazing with phenomenal attention to detail, from the way he speaks to way he moves. And all of them are perfect to represent these real outstanding, brave characters that against the system and everyone fights for the truth. Only if the world had more of this people.
The script shines a light on the most important things, the victims, the perpetrators and the investigators. As you get a clear sense of everything that happened, and shows one very important conclusion, that the church isn't the only one to blame, in fact i think that the people that support their way of dealing with the subject, just because they're the church, and so they must be above the law, are even worse.
This is a very hard and delicate subject, and the film deals amazingly with it, showing you everything thats most important, thought i wouldn't mind to see more of the main characters and their personal lives, how they deal with everything, but i understand why the director focus on whats most important the investigation and their work. Spotlight is an amazing film, and immersive experience, with an outstanding score to elevate things even more, a killer cast with killer performances and a screenplay that never lets you go, even when you leave the theater.
