Excellent Film! Terrifying...But Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2016)

*Potential Spoilers*
There is a lot to be said about a film such as Spotlight. There is no action, no murders, no special effects, no explosions, no knife- wielding psychopaths...and yet this film manages to reach down deep inside your mind and grip it tightly throughout the entire film.
I found it rather odd having to mention that there could be spoilers in this film as it isn't really a film with a traditional sort of twist to it. Watching Spotlight, I found myself feeling many emotions towards the characters in the film as well as towards the institutions in real life: you can't help but feel empathy towards the victims within this story, while feeling anger, disgust, contempt towards the "villains".
The biggest issue, the biggest fear-causing moment in this films is at the end. After watching any other film, the credits would roll and you would tell yourself "It was just a film"...but with Spotlight, your brain keeps thinking about how awful and real this story is.
I would recommend this to everyone and anyone but I would especially recommend it to anyone who follows faith blindly. Anyone who believes that they are doing Gods will by abandoning any moral principle because a fellow believer explains that it is what God wants.
