Spotlight is a great example of direction and writing coming
together to tell a solid story from start to finish. I actually
went into this expecting to hate it because of the subject
matter because I didn't want to have to sit through a 2 hour
movie where they show what had happened. It's only hinted at in
the very first scene of the movie and that was just showing how
the lawyer showed up and get the priest out of hot water. The
rest of the flick, to my surprise and one that I greatly
appreciated, was more or less shining a spotlight on a team of
reporters that put together a massive puzzle, piece by piece
until they uncover the corruption by the Church at the highest
levels. Basically the entire movie is one long detective story,
albeit with reporters digging up the dirt. The director had to
be on their A-game because he was going to have to carry the
bulk of this once they got it into the editing room. There is no
dead-weight anywhere to be found. Very surprised to see how
captivated I was with Spotlight. I highly recommend this for
sure. A great cast that includes Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton,
Rachel McAdams, John Slattery, Stanley Tucci, Brian d'Arcy
James, Liev Schreiber, and Billy Crudup.
