Excellent story telling on a complex subject

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2016)

A story about a publication, journalists and detailing an unfolding scandal within the Catholic Church. Set in the early noughties during 9/11, the film doesn't even go much into detail with the journalist's lives, their relationships with other but focuses on the victims, the scandal and process of exposing the scandal. An astounding film, on par if not surpassing 'All the Presidents Men (1976)' of the Watergate scandal with 21st Century appeal. Can't think of a film since that. Not only thoroughly engaging as you walk away from this film informed of how journalism but also how the legal system works as well as being gripped enfolding scandal. All of it condensed into cinematic story telling backed up by a strong cast.
