spotlight
a film about the expose by the boston globe of catholic priests
huge numbers of them having their way with children in their charge
tipped for oscar glory and multiple trailer viewing has me interested
what i liked
totally authentic feeling - no pandering to attention span deficits
convicted actors giving their all to the film and no doubt the cause
the lack of demonisation of the perpetrators - the story is the deal
engagement - from go to whoa and spirited discussion afterwards
what i dis-liked
rapid dialogue on legal points particularly had my head spinning
4.5 / 5
