Review of Spotlight (2015) by Dinojay2 — 29 Dec 2015
This was an incredibly subtle movie in the way it made you really feel the moral and emotional dilemmas of the various characters without resorting to grand gestures or shocking revelations. While many movies on such a topic would rely on the viewers disgust with these predators, Spotlight in fact all but ignores this side of the story, showing the viewers the respect of assuming they already know how terrible child abuse is.
Instead they focus on the way the story came out, how it remained hidden for so long, and even manages to make you see it from the point of view of those who were part of the cover up - creating an understanding without the necessity of sympathy.
Masterfully done.
