Spotlight ****

 directed this Drama. Watch Preview. Cast: Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, John Slattery, Stanley Tucci, Brian d'Arcy James, Billy Crudup. Rated R for some language including sexual references. Running time is two hours and eight minutes.

When a team of reporters delves 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.

Even though this film is over two hours long, it will hold your attention throughout. Featuring a stellar cast in a true detective story, with pacing that keeps everything moving right along, I was actually sorry to see it draw to a close. I know the subject matter may prove uncomfortable for some, but it is what it is, and for the most part is handled as tastefully as possible. In case you haven't been paying attention to the Oscar nominations, this film has been nominated for six, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Film Editing, and Best Director. Also,  Mark Ruffalo was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Rachel McAdams was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. This is back as an encore presentation so don't expect it to stay around long. This is one of last year's best films and I recommend you catch it if at all possible.

There are no additional scenes after the credits begin. Screen size is unimportant. Theatres/Times.
