Great movie about journalism

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2016)

My girlfriend and I were really impressed by this movie. Great directing, a superb cast and a beautiful storyline. This movie shows how important it is to have great journalists / newspapers in your country, who have the time and funds for extensive journalistic research. A really important message these days if you consider that all the newspapers have lots of problems to make enough revenues, as a result of the digital era where users almost expect that everything is for free. Good journalism is essential in a democracy, and that is one of the great lessons this movie shows her audience.
I think Spotlight has a great chance to win the Best Picture award at the Oscars. However, the Revenant has a higher chance of winning, as it is a more original movie which was certainly not easy to make. I think the Academy will definitely reward that, but that doesn't mean Spotlight isn't one of the best movies of the 2015/2016 Oscar season.
Go see it guys!
