Excellent movie.

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2016)

Went to see this movie because I heard it being compared to 'All the Presidents Men'. From start to finish I was engrossed in this movie.The acting was superb,Mark Ruffalo really played his part with passion. The subject of the movie,clerical child abuse, is harrowing,but nonetheless it is a story that has to be told. We should never forget all those children who for decades faced abuse at the hands of priests whom they trusted and looked up to. It is sickening to to see in the movie how the Catholic church tried at every turn to cover up the abuse perpetrated by its priests.'Spotlight' brings the stories of abuse victims to light,and while there is good and bad in everyone,those that abuse the trust others put in them should be prosecuted and not have their crimes covered up,whether it be by the Catholic Church or anyone else.I would highly recommend this movie,go and see this.While their is a sad story being told the actors and director brought this story to light vividly. There is a tension in the movie that keeps you interested until the very end.
