Review of Spotlight (2015) by Matt C — 05 Dec 2018

What a film this is, essentially 90% of the plot boils down to journalists having meetings and doing research yet it's so well put together you're completely gripped from the first frame. Everything in this film works, the performance across the board are excellent, the direction, the soundtrack, all perfect.

Actors you've seen in other films and never even left a mark all get it pitch perfect here. I haven't seen another McCarthy film but I'll rectify that because this is first class film-making it really is.

The story is sickening and heartbreaking in equal measure, no-one gets out of this film without being examined thoroughly, it's a triumph.
