Amazing story that you deserve to hear out

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2016)

This movie tried to tell the horrors catholic church has allowed their priests to do to children. Rapes, sexual abuses by their priests, heavily covered and even approved by the church itself. However, it is told in extremely civilized and correct manner. It is like series of facts are listed and showed in your face. The movie goes in such extreme with this approach, that it becomes bit boring to follow even though the subject and content itself are beyond fascinating. Some would list this to the movie's pros, but I mostly view it as a so-so.
I can see what they did, though. It is utter lack of propaganda and party. Total neutral approach where the movie doesn't want to do the thinking and judging for you, but leaves that job as a whole to the viewer. The opposite of what media does. I admire how they could execute all of this without any bits of provoking been seen in the piece itself, the piece we call Spotlight.
The problem from my part being, and reason why I don't think any higher about this movie (which I already think is good, but not great), is simply the lack of shock. There is not much anything new this movie has to offer to a person from the "internet generation" such as myself. Besides the neutral approach that can rarely be seen these days, the movies "evil", and all the f*cked up s*it in the world, all are something that we all know about already.
Surely, we got to see how hard it sometimes is to deliver the facts to public knowledge, and I guess we all can appreciate the effort. I know I appreciate this. In fact, I think this is the bigger, though-provoking message this movie had to offer. What we are told and what is the truth. Two different things. It is pretty much a timeless subject. Thinking about the immigrant crisis and wars we are having in the modern world now in 2016, you know, just to name the "hottest" subjects. We can only wonder how many years it takes before all the crazy mad s*it around these subjects get revealed by some form of media and later made into a movie. It is no surprise if something as dark as child abuse by church is revealed regarding our current crisis.
The truths of present are often lies in the future. Sometimes, people, such as the Spotlight team, can question even such an admired and loved organization as the church, and find the grey between all the black and white we are taught to see, and, just maybe, make the world a bit better place.
