This is such a phenomenal film. The soundtrack. The acting. The script. The authenticity. I think that liev schreiberand Rachel Mcadams both give their best performances of their careers in Spotlight. Mark Ruffallo should have won an Oscar for his performance. "It's time! It's time!". That moment released so much angst and gave me chills. Michael Keaton was also fantastic, of course. Howard Shore gave so much life to the movie through music and it rivals the work that he did on The Lord of the Rings.10/10 5 Stars Two thumbs up Must watch Best film Oscar winner!I rest my case.

I do not understand why a movie released in 2015, a year when Birdman won Best Picture, did not get the award for the year it was released. This movie is a great gritty crime drama that is much better than that other picture. It is nice that it was named best in 2016, but by awarding the underserving Birdman in 2015 instead of this movie, the academy chose a flaky comedy film over an excellent film in 2015.It also robbed The Revenant and Denzell Washington's Fences more deserved attention than they films got. Especially Fences, which deserved more attention than they got, and one of these should have gotten best picture in 2016. So somehow Spotlight got the award a year late from an Awards organiztion that is a few shingles short. (Maybe they need the new shingles shot?)Spotlight takes a great true story and elevates it into a great film, and it should not have taken 14 months for this movie to receive the Best Picture. I do give Spotlight kudos for not changing the story for dramatic effect. The story is dramatic enough and the writing realized this. Morgan Freeman annouced this winner at the ceremony.This is a film still worth catching.

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

Though there's not much flair and 'Spotlight (2015)' feels far too long, this true-story conspiracy uncovering is a pretty compelling and rather raw affair compounded by a consistent sense of realism and several superb central performances. It does often rely too heavily on the fact it's based around real-life, nerve-touching events to garner an emotional reaction from some basic tactics or otherwise almost boring moments, but overall it's an entertaining if not always enjoyable picture that gets its themes across while always exuding a palpable sense of the newsroom. 7/10
