Review of Spotlight (2015) by Asimpleman — 20 Nov 2015
It's difficult today to grab an audience without special effects or a lot of action, however Spotlight succeeds. The pace of this movie was initially a bit slow and the audience was less than enthusiastic, but as the story enfolded the audience grew less restless, eventually becoming riveted to the screen.
The movie depicts the hunt for a story within its own story, but the significance of whether the struggle to hunt for the facts or whether the facts themselves are more important is not well enough defined.
Had better attention been paid to the dilemma of reporting for the sake of truth versus for the sake of sales dollars this movie would have far more merit.
