Director : Tom McCarthy
Running Time : 130 mins
It’s 2001, and the reporters at the Boston Globe have begun a yearlong investigation into allegations of child abuse in the Catholic Church. Their investigation into a handful of cases soon spirals out of control as they realise the sheer extent of the abuse and how many priests are involved in both the offenses and the subsequent cover-ups.
This starts off incredibly slow, and I was worried I was going to be left sitting through more than two hours of nothing, but then the plot kicked in. It’s amazing how crooked the Catholic Church comes across in this movie, and disgusting that they allow priests to carry on in their roles when they know what they’ve done. The subject matter is tricky, but it is treated in a way that won’t offend too easily and actually makes for fascinating viewing.
