Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

alindsay-al This film won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2016 and I have been told to watch Spotlight ever since and I have now had the chance to do this and this is truly one of the best and one of the most important films I have ever seen. The premise of this film sees a group of Boston reporters looking into possible misdoings from priests at the Catholic Church. The main star in this film is that of Mark Ruffalo and this is probably the best I have ever seen him, he sinks his teeth into this role and you can really believe that he is a journalist. It's also fascinating seeing his characters journey throughout the film and you just want to root for him all the way through. The rest of the cast is amazing too, Michael Keaton plays the head of the team and he continues his career renaissance by delivering a great performance full of depth and intrigue. Rachel McAdams is a great actress and she totally nails it in this film, her character has a good story in the film and it's great to see her given as important a role in this film as the male reporters in the story. Liev Schreiber is known for playing very powerful physical performances but he plays the new head of the globe and he gave a truly unique great performance that I wasn't sure that he was capable of. Other great performances come from Stanley Tucci, Billy Crudup, John Slattery and Jamey Sheridan who add so much to their smaller roles and really gave this film an overall sense of realism. The story of this film is so interesting with this group of journalists going on a hunt for this story. It deals with a ton of sensitive and important moments but it kept me interested and intrigued throughout. The script deals with its dramatic dialogue very respectfully and appropriately which makes it comes across as quite naturally. Also the little bits of humour made these characters feel like real people and not just characters that are in a movie. The style of the film is so tense and on edge that you don't know what the next twist is going to be and it always keeps you on your toes. Overall this is truly a special film that I feel should be seen by everybody to truly appreciate what films are about.

Syl There are two films to see if you are studying to be a journalist. Spotlight is one and then there is "All The Presidents' Men" about the abuse of power in the highest offices. Spotlight recounts how the Boston Globe uncovered not only the abuse but the massive cover-up to the Cardinal to protect their pedophile priests which became the first story in a worldwide scandal about abusive priests. We are now hearing about nuns being abused by priests. As a lifelong Catholic, I was fortunate that I wasn't a victim of such abuse. This film isn't about the abuse although horrible and massive to have thousands of survivors come forward but it is about the institution of the Catholic Church who abused their power in failing to protect vulnerable, innocent children from such horrific abuse. I know that the Catholic Church is not infallible. They are at fault for allowing such heinous but crimes but they are not alone. There are other religious organizations who have survivors coming forward about their own abuse. I hope that they don't stop coming forward. Boston was a heavily Catholic city with a strong Catholic influence in its politics and history. Boston was the hometown of the Kennedys and other Irish Catholics. The Catholic Church's power was finally brought down by a newspaper named the Boston Globe who I pray never goes out of business. This is why the press is so important. The cast was first rate and the film won the Best Picture Academy Award.

sakram I don't get it, all these positive reviews, I read the short description of the movie, I really liked the idea, it's a very sensitive subject that had to be discussed sooner or later, but 60 minutes into the movie and I dropped it, like seriously ? It's so boring, all these names thrown here and there, it's dialogue-heavy for no obvious reason, there is no important dialogue going on, just a bunch of workers, handling a case, interviewing a bunch of victims, and voilà, nothing more. I felt underwhelmed, bored to death. If it were not for the subject-matter, or the actors, this movie would get a zero. So for subject matter and actors' performances : 4/10

dokuz10 The story of this film needs no explanation. It is a very powerful subject and sometimes it makes me wonder how these subjects are allowed in Hollywood. Corruption is everywhere. With the internet expanding and our view of the news changing, as depicted in the film, we have been discovering such stories more and more. The film's execution of its serious subject was not as powerful as it needed it to be. There was only subtle criticism of the Church and the subject of sexual abuse. There should have been more vivid and effective ways of criticizing the behaviour and the cover-up. I don't know if this is even possible considering the power of religious institutions; it might not have been possible to do much more, so we can't blame without knowing the truth. This is not the only reason why I found the film underperformed. The acting was weak, excluding Mark Ruffalo. And I couldn't find myself getting into the story as much as I would've expected to. The story and the subject along with Ruffalo's performance saved this film to be above average. Still, I would recommend it for the story.
