The film's story and perspective match that sentiment throughout, focusing on the dismantling of first amendment roadblocks for the victims of sexual abuse put in place by a religious institution that most - legislative branch included - would not (and did not) think twice about challenging.

Catholic leaders, both ordained and lay, said in op-ed essays they welcomed the attention certain to be paid to the Catholic Church upon the nationwide release of the movie "Spotlight", which chronicles the Boston Globe's uncovering of the clergy sex abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Boston in 2002. But before we get to the review, a few disclosures are in order: For one, the film's chief protagonist, Globe editor Marty Baron, is now executive editor of The Washington Post. The paper hasn't shied away from covering the one-off cases over the years, and there's a well-earned weariness in agitating the church. As Spotlight's editor Walter Robinson, Keaton describes himself as Boston "born and raised". And Spotlight tells a great one, compressing years of exhaustive shoe-leather reporting into two brisk, infuriated hours.

[ct "Spotlight" is one of those movies that has special appeal for newspaper reporters, but lots of people will appreciate this terrific film. "They are artists in the truest sense of the word who continue to surprise and inspire audiences with their talent". NYSE Post http:]
