Spotlight is the most important movie about investigative journalism since
All the President's Men!
BUT, for some reason,
it's not making the same impression
with the general public.
Which I found incredibly frustrating when I was
leaving the theater because I thought the movie was so good.
I was like "Man, why aren't more people talking about this?!"
"Why is almost everyone in this theater a senior citizen?!"
"Why is Spotlight getting swept under the rug?!"
So I saw this movie on Saturday night
and I thought about it, and I thought about it
and I not only came up with two reasons why
this movie isn't getting more coverage and isn't making more of an impression
but also in the course of finding out those two reasons
discovering them, I also came to the realization that the movie is deeply flawed.
But you should still see it! And I'm gonna tell you why.
