Leave your thoughts about Spotlight.
| SFistRain JokinenThe shocking truths that are slowly and painfully revealed throughout the course of the movie make for some pretty suspenseful viewing. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansThe other great thing about Spotlight is that it never shouts out its message. McCarthy employs the secret every good reporter knows: Let the facts speak for themselves, and they will make your story worth the audience's time. |
| Daily StarAndy Lea[A] gripping detective story and brilliant newpaper drama. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersSpotlight giving center stage to unsung warriors for truth who understood telling the story right, without embellishment, without melodramatic editorial excess, was the greatest victory of them all. |
| Digital SpyEmma DibdinAs a tribute to rigorous, unglamorous, old-fashioned journalism, Spotlight is only more powerful for being released in the age of disposable digital media. |

| ProcesoFausto PonceSpotlight is an indispensable film for moviegoers and for every believer. [Full review in Spanish] |

| ABC Radio (Australia)Matt NealSucceeds because it puts the audience alongside the reporters, allowing us to share the incredulity, disgust and frustration. |
