Spotlight

The 2001 investigation of Boston ex-priest, John Geoghan, who assaulted over 80 children, is the focus of this story. (And yet, he still lived without one parent killing him). I digress. If you liked this one, you should then watch Mea Maxima Culpa- a documentary about a group of men who were boys in a Catholic school for the deaf. Their documentary  got a higher rating on rotten tomatoes than Spotlight, and because they are REAL people, the movie chills you to your core. Of course, Spotlight is a successful film. Most people haven't seen Mea Maxima Culpa. But here's the deal- you should. Find that one and see it. Because it isn't Hollywood- it is real.  So I'll give this one 2 stars because it is what it is- no one had to stand in their own spotlight to tell their story like the now grown men of the documentary did. BTW, the Vatican still has over 15 billion dollars. How's that!
