My Quick Thoughts: Spotlight is about a four man team of journalists at The Boston Globe who think they are reporting on a story about a couple of priests in the Catholic church who are secretly abusing children, but they end up discovering that it is 90 priests in the Boston area that the church is covering up for. This movie, based on a true story, is fantastic. It is what a movie should be. It is a good story with good acting that doesn't involve any gimmicks or special effects. The story, no matter how disturbing and how hard to swallow, was good enough to turn into a great movie that will get you thinking, and make you angry.
