The fact this is a true story is absolutely insane. What a horrifying look inside the catholic church. Over 70 priests in Boston proper alone?? The cardinal being transferred to higher authority in Rome? Are you serious? How can anyone with any sort of authority in the Catholic church be trusted.
The film itself was also so well done. A story about reporting and newspapers but the pacing was incredible and there wasn't a second I was bored. A fascinating topic and despite not learning much of their background I found myself really connected and rooting for the characters. I've heard people complain about Ruffalos performance which I don't agree with, however I am surprised Ruffalo and McAdams got oscar noms over Stanly Tucci, his performance impressed me the most.
