Spot-on Spotlight

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2020)

The film roughly roams around the investigative journalism about the child molestation and sexual abuse of children linked with the Catholic Churches. This type of bold topics are always tricky because depicting some religious scandals and controversies always generates criticism which sometimes goes beyond the expectations which might halt the release of the movie or may turn into total disaster. However despite of its bold theme in nature based on true events this film somehow got lucky as the film was not only got positive reception from Catholic community but also got praises from them acknowledging the accuracy of events and how originally the story and journalists helped them to identify this sinful act. The screenplay of the movie is one of the tightest and best I've come a crossed supported by crunch direction and some fine work by the seasoned actors including Michael Keaton.
