Director Tom McCarthy’s ode to print journalism and old-school investigative reporting benefits from its strong ensemble cast (Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, Stanley Tucci, Liev Schreiber) as well as a sense of restraint in telling the story of the Boston Globe Spotlight team’s efforts to expose a wide-reaching scandal involving the Roman Catholic Church. Patience is the watchword where their efforts and McCarthy’s approach is concerned, and it all pays off in the end as the film powerfully reminds us that the uncovering of the truth, no matter the amount of time, effort and compromise involved, is worth the cost.
