Spotlight brings hope to the vulnerable

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2016)

This is quite simply the best film i've seen in a longtime. The reporters roles are really understated, leaving the victims and the horrific abuse they suffered to remain center stage.
It also highlights the seemingly untrustworthy influence of the Church over the Police and government officials. The ending, although always obvious,takes nothing away from the drama.
The sheer persistence of the four reporters, although at times against overwhelming corruption, is at times quite inspirational.
The film deals with abuse appreciatively but maintains a hard edge to the whole subject.
Certain to make the Oscar nominations list and don't bet against Mark Ruffalo or Michael Keaton for an award.
