This Oscar winner for best picture of 2015 is fabulous. There is nothing like good investigative reporting and this marvelous film is just that. It is really serving as a tribute to our journalists for doing great research in investigative reporting to get down to the facts and reveal the guilty parties, no matter who they may be.
The uncovering of the scandal involving priests sexually abusing boys and merely being placed on sick leave or transferred to a different parish is both shocking but yet so revealing.
It is the fact that the church itself comes under the criticism for the institution knowing full well what was occurring but covering it up until journalists delved into the situation.
There is absolutely fine acting by a truly ensemble cast and the film brought out the extent to which the church covered up the incidents and the various groups, attorneys included, went along with this for their own financial gain.
Truly a memorable film which shall long be remembered.
