Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
bbhuffstetler It's hard to find fault in this expertly and metciously crafted film. The acting is never bombastic but always brilliant, the writing is excellent, the pacing perfect. The delicate subject matter is handled deftly while still making the story gripping enough for multiple rewatches. Highly recommended.
DKosty123 I do not understand why a movie released in 2015, a year when Birdman won Best Picture, did not get the award for the year it was released. This movie is a great gritty crime drama that is much better than that other picture. It is nice that it was named best in 2016, but by awarding the underserving Birdman in 2015 instead of this movie, the academy chose a flaky comedy film over an excellent film in 2015.It also robbed The Revenant and Denzell Washington's Fences more deserved attention than they films got. Especially Fences, which deserved more attention than they got, and one of these should have gotten best picture in 2016. So somehow Spotlight got the award a year late from an Awards organiztion that is a few shingles short. (Maybe they need the new shingles shot?)Spotlight takes a great true story and elevates it into a great film, and it should not have taken 14 months for this movie to receive the Best Picture. I do give Spotlight kudos for not changing the story for dramatic effect. The story is dramatic enough and the writing realized this. Morgan Freeman annouced this winner at the ceremony.This is a film still worth catching.
majken-agerbo I really loved this movie! Great actors that did an amazing job, fascinating plot that really drives you in and get you invested, it's beautifully shot and really gives the movie its feel. So if you're a sucker for unsolved crimes and unlikely villains this is absolutely not going to disappoint and definitely worth the watch!
jasonlisa-46411 Really though...this will go down as one of the most forgettable best picture wins ever.
