Spotlight
Directed by Tom McCarthy
- TanalienNovember 2, 2024McCarthy is interested in more than lionizing the Boston Globe’s reporters who did the hard work. There is a higher goal within Spotlight. The film merges the facts of the news story, the people behind it, and the people affected by it. Just as the Boston Globe broke these horrific stories, Spotlight builds on that foundation, offering an essential investigation into what enabled pervasive child abuse.
- Kevin WardJuly 14, 2025Put this on for no particular reason. Such a good journalism film along with the likes of All The President’s Men and Network. It’s also one of the Best Picture winning films of the last 10-15 years that holds up the best. Excellent performances with an expertly crafted script. The revelations uncovered by Spotlight team of The Boston Globe are shocking enough in how widespread it was in the city of Boston. But then when the end credits roll and they list the vast number of cities that had similar occurrences….it’s just sickening to think even about. Brilliant film.
