Nicely Done

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2016)

There really isn't anything bad about Spotlight. From top to bottom, this movie was done very well. There is an all star cast, the story is beyond interesting, and the feel is just right for this type of movie.
Its hard to point at one actor as the best since the entire cast worked well together. All of the performances were very authentic and real. Personally, I thought Mark Ruffalo was the best out of a great cast.
The story was great even though we all know the outcome. Most biographical movies tell the story we know, which can be boring. Spotlight finds a way to keep the viewers attention as it presents information during opportune times of the movie.
What makes this movie so good is the authenticity. Watching this movie didn't seem forced, as the storyline and acting came across like the viewer was actually there watching the events unfold. There was a very "real" feel to how Spotlight was put together.
This was a very good movie, as everything was done well. I didn't love Spotlight, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done really well. I'm not as interested in the subject matter as some. Spotlight is definitely one of the better movies of the year, and is worth a watch. 7/10
