ReviewsChicaog Sun-Times - It's one of the best movies I've ever seen about the art and the science of newspaper reporting., Globe and Mail - A remarkably assured and tight retelling of the Boston Globe's investigation into the Catholic Church's legacy of child abuse and cover-ups., Chicago Sun-Times - It's one of the best movies I've ever seen about the art and the science of newspaper., USA Today - No need to bury the lede: SPOTLIGHT is a masterpiece., San Francisco Chronicle - The movie finds drama, not in telling the audience what it doesn't know, but in showing us people finding out the scope and dimension of what we already know, and then letting us see them react with shock, horror and a firm sense of purpose., Toronto Sun - SPOTLIGHT is a mystery, a thriller and a human interest drama, but mostly it's a love letter to investigative journalism.
