Covers a sensitive topic with dignity

Rating: 7/10 (11 December 2016)

'Spotlight' covers a sensitive subject matter, so it was imperative that the story was told with as much consideration as possible for those affected. I found it to be an effective and accurate portrayal of some truly sickening events, with appropriate emphasis on the dialogue and characters. The writers deserve a lot of credit for this.
The film makes for compelling viewing and once your hooked, it's difficult to take your eyes off the screen until the film is over. Everything had to be done just right, especially as the shocking revelations were unfolding. It was generally very impressive.
'Spotlight' does more than just tell a story. It tells a very difficult one and it does it with dignity. A very well made film.
