Review
"Spotlight is a masterpiece."--USA Today"The year is not over, but I've already seen my favorite film of 2015."--New York Observer"The film hums as a tense shoe-leather procedural and a heartbreaking morality play that handles personal stories respectfully without losing sight of the bigger, more damning picture."--Entertainment Weekly
