Directed by Tom McCarthy this is the true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation within the Catholic church, and it is absolutely brilliant.This film touches on one of the most shocking pieces of news in history, a scandal that was covered up for years and it depicts the story about the struggle of getting the truth out to the nation.
It is compelling and beautiful, not only the story but the cinematography and the acting performed by a brilliant cast brings the story to life. Not only do you feel the struggle but the absolute magnitude of the time they had spent on this story, the effort and raw emotion put into it keeps the audience gripped throughout.
The story itself is so interesting and unbelievable it makes you lose faith in the church and partly in humanity for keeping it a secret for so many years, however faith is partially restored when you realise that there are people out there willing to uncover the truth no matter what it takes.
For me it was totally nerve racking and just brilliant as I was only a child when these events were happening so for them to be relayed in such a fantastic manner is truly moving. Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams and the rest of the cast breathe life into this story. The emotion is so real from not only the main cast but the entire ensemble as they tell the story in a way that makes the audience feel close to the story.
Personally I feel this is an important film that everyone should watch at least once, it is a new age masterpiece (no wonder it's up for an Oscar).
It is incredibly important that you watch this film, not only to learn something but also to experience something.
