A well written biopic

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2020)

A film that starts off average for the first half hour but turns into something very compelling. This biopic might not be for everyone since the subject matter can be pretty disturbing and uncomfortable. But it definitely made me feel something at the end of the movie.
The interviews with the victims made you understood how bad this scandal really was and they never shy away from telling you how unsettling it was to have someone you trust do things that disturb you. For that I commend this movie. Mark Ruffalo gives the performance of his career. I also liked the small scene at the end with Rachel McAdams and her grandma reading the article toward the end.
Some issues are the first 30 minutes before the plot really gets going. It felt inconsequential to the rest of the movie. Also some characters aren't as well developed as others, I didn't really care about anyone outside of the spotlight team.
Overall I recommend this movie as long as you can handle the touchy subject matter
