SPOTLIGHT tells the riveting true story of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world's oldest and most trusted institutions. When the newspaper's tenacious "Spotlight" team of reporters delve into allegations of abuse in the Catholic Church, their year-long investigation uncovers a decades-long cover-up at the highest levels of Boston's religious, legal, and government establishment, touching off a wave of revelations around the world. Directed by Academy Award-nominee Tom McCarthy, SPOTLIGHT is a tense investigative thriller, tracing the steps to one of the biggest crime stories in modern times.

Well acted, Ruffalo does a great bit of work as someone who knows they have to go on asking questions, the answers to which they're not going to like. Sad that the problem hasn't stopped, but it is institutionalized predatory addiction...only absolute transparency and openness to daylight can make that happen.

As a lapsed catholic, my disapointment with church goes back to the 60's, but this movie absolutely blew my mind! They are criminals and need to be treated as such! And from a Chicago paper article, it's still occuring, so if it's happening here, it's going on elsewhere !
