In a world that seems to no longer value facts, truth, and objective reporting, Spotlight is an incredibly refreshing film. I thought it would be too heavy, given the subject matter of child molestation and religious scandal. But seeing the active, investigative journalists doing there thing--not sleeping, powering through long days of interviewing, needling their way into courts, scouring over records--is powerful and energizing. And they do it not to win awards or be recognized. There are no selfish, egocentric people on the screen. All the journalists are motivated by their principles and belief that the people should know the truth and the system should change. Simple as that. A very worthy Oscar Best Picture winner.
