Steven M. Well-written and acted film! Michael Keaton and Rachel McAdams, especially, live up to expectations. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/21 Full Review To F Que fuerte no? No se como dejamos que en el ambiente de la iglesia católica pasen cosas así. Que buena historia basada en hechos reales, que bueno saber que si se hizo justicia. Pero que triste que en otros lados no hagan nada y la iglesia los domine. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Jake S. One of my all time favorites Very rewatchable. 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Ed . Father Knows Best...That He Has Sinned This film could have been called Stoplight for it greatly helped put a stop to the physical, sexual and mental abuse of children. England’s Lord Acton famously said “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. It harms not only the weakest among us but also the most powerful of institutions. History's repeated irony is that they circle the wagons for fear of losing authority, yet the end result is usually far worse. The Roman Catholic Church and its Clergy were once and not so long ago held in high esteem. As punishment for not policing its own and for failing its faithful, it has caused many to lose that faith and has become a figurative punching bag and literal joke across society. Priests are now synonymous with perverts. Spotlight follows in the footsteps of All The President’s Men in prioritizing accuracy over sensationalism and in telling a true story that builds suspense even though the outcome was already known. Spotlight includes an interview with a victim and a reporters’ meeting with another leading a group, but the film does not spend much time here. The focus is on the reporting. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Maddox G. Outside of All the President’s Men, this is the best journalism movie ever Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Isa B The story featured in this film is a very interesting one. However, it is told in the most dry, lifeless way possible. I felt like I was sitting in their little office for two hours, waiting on the phone to ring. The phone never rang for me and the film never grabbed my attention. The movie wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great or even that interesting. With this subject matter and an awesome cast to bring it to life, there really is no excuse for this film to be so uninteresting. I was really disappointed. How can an A+ story and an A cast result in a C+ movie? Well, it did just that. Others may like it, but I don't recommend this film. 82/100 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
