Awesome Movie

Admirable film.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's pretty much what you would expect from a movie deliberately made about a controversial subject and directed to win awards. It's worth watching purely to understand the depth of such a horrifying part of contemporary history, but it won't make you come back to relive the story. Oscar bait at its finest and the cast pulls through very well

I don't get it, all these positive reviews, I read the short description of the movie, I really liked the idea, it's a very sensitive subject that had to be discussed sooner or later, but 60 minutes into the movie and I dropped it, like seriously ? It's so boring, all these names thrown here and there, it's dialogue-heavy for no obvious reason, there is no important dialogue going on, just a bunch of workers, handling a case, interviewing a bunch of victims, and voilà, nothing more. I felt underwhelmed, bored to death. If it were not for the subject-matter, or the actors, this movie would get a zero. So for subject matter and actors' performances : 4/10

Above being a superb movie, it's a very necessary movie. The story needed to be broadcast to the word and there was no better way to do so than this. This movie had me from the begining. Cinematography didn't really bring anything new and exciting but it definitely wasn't a fluke. Direction was great but the overall biggest and most compelling aspect as the acting. This movie had them all. Micheal Keaton and Mark Rufallo's performances gave me chills. They made me believe that they were the ones actually reporting on this story. I'm glad this movie was brought to the screen, not only as an outstanding movie, but as a testament against time that the good in people will prevail when the evil in people try to hide the truth. It deserved best picture for sure. 8.9 out of 10 stars! What a great movie.

Since I am studying journalism, our professor showed us this movie during our class and I am happy she did so, since I felt ashamed that I did not know this movie until then. It shows how hard, dedicated and loved journalism as profession really is and at the same time, it shows the truth that hides behind the curtain. There is a reason why journalism and journalists are called the 7th power of society, and this movie is a clear proof about that. It reminds people once again that they need to be careful with their surroundings, even when the church is the subject of matter.
