Review: Going into Spotlight my Expectations were high. I left the Theatre feeling really impacted after what I'd just found out. The movie met expectations.
The direction in spotlight was really interesting. Throughout the film it provided a sturdy understanding of the right and the wrong. It really helped you understand that this whole thing was a political war and these weren't big city people they were normal families being defended. It left you impacted by what was happening. The camera angles in the film were great and different. The screenplay for this movie I thought was great and one of my favourites this year. The script for the film was very life like, had a lot of heavy moments and the story never had any spare boring time that could've been cut.
The soundtrack in the film was pretty good. It gave the emotions of the film more power specifically tension, big reveals, mystery and the characters thoughts.
Michael Keaton was the right casting for Robby Robinson. Keaton played the subtle man of his character very well but also could be a leader really well. Rachel McAdams gave one of her best performances as Sasha Pfeiffer. McAdams played her determined character so well and I felt it got her out of her comfort zone to something new. Mark Ruffalo played Mike Rezendes very well and also gave one of his best performances ever. He transformed into this character so well with his physicality and speech for the whole film and never left character. Screiber brought an excellent performance that was constant and interesting, Slattery did well but not amazing, Tucci brought another great performance and brought the movie back sometimes and d'Arcy James gave another very good one too. Overall excellent cast.
Overall Spotlight was a very well created film that was able to impact the audience really hard and with an amazing ensemble cast and great direction.
