SPOTLIGHT (2015, dir by Thomas McCarthy, Open Road Films)

Thomas McCarthy's SPOTLIGHT is one of the most compelling dramatic re-enactments of real people at work, taking personal and professional risks, to shine light on the systematic cover-up of youth sexual abuse my clergy. In this film, those people are journalists at The Boston Globe as well as a few lone bold and brave attorneys representing victims.

There are superb performances by Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, John Slattery, Stanley Tucci, Brian d'Arcy James, Liev Schreiber, and Billy Crudup.

Very Highly Recommended.
