Spotlight

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_(film)#/media/File:Spotlight_(film)_poster.jpg

For the twentieth film of the month we have Spotlight

First off, we have the story which has tells the true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core. I thought the story was an intriguing one and I liked the way how determined the team was to get the story published. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were the best part about the film especially the acting and chemistry between all the main cast as they find out about the story and become determined to get to the truth and publish it.

As for the film's visuals I thought it had a consistent look to it throughout without being to flashy and take the focus away but the editing of through the whole film pieced it all together so it flowed well. Moving onto the tone of the film which i thought was very good as it didn't shy away from keeping away secrets and wanted to tell the full story that it wanted to tell. I thought the soundtrack of the film was good as well adding to the overall feel of the film. 

Overall, I thought this film was an excellent one from start to finish and how the story escalated as the scandal got bigger and bigger was shocking and you wanted to see what would happen about it.

I give Spotlight a score of 10/10
