Spotlight - Recensioni

Exceptional, as always, with his actors, McCarthy has made a true ensemble drama, with nary a bum note in the sprawling cast.

...with all its pain and urgency, is a pure celebration of journalists doing what they do best.

...its tone is led by its characters, moving from scepticism to revelation and the uncomfortable sense that we should all feel guilty for ignoring the secrets too hard to acknowledge.

...the cast powerfully convey the journalists’ horror at realising the abuse stretches back decades...

...en riktig nagelbitare...

...både modernare och mer relevant än en film om sällsynt smarta och modiga människor, ställföreträdande hjältar som gör att man själv slipper undan.

...et spændende og gennemgribende velspillet drama, som får lagt den helt rette vægt på paradokset i, at en skandale af så stort omfang kunne udspille sig i årtier i en by så stor som Boston uden at komme op til overfladen.

...McCarthy [renser] dramaet fra falske toner og sender skuespillerne ind til kernen af deres figurers menneskelighed med minimalismen som rettesnor.

...a great newspaper movie, ranking up there with 'All the President’s Men' and 'Citizen Kane'...

...utterly engrossing from start to finish.

...its tone is led by its characters, moving from scepticism to revelation and the uncomfortable sense that we should all feel guilty for ignoring the secrets too hard to acknowledge.

Spotlight is a journalismprocedural thriller in which the thrills and procedure are one and thesame thing.
