A hard-hitting true story narrated with a strong performance by all, especially, Mark Ruffalo. The film focusses on the investigative journalism by Boston Globe which reveals as massive child molestation scandal by the churches. A true epic film for the brilliant screenplay (hope they win an award) and great performances. While the news was public domain and occurred in the more recent decades, not many would have understood the severity of the issue. The film peels the onion slowly and steadily. We often ignore the most critical part of any film…..Editing. The films editing stand out with parallel/Cross cut shots. This kind of editing is generally used when two events occur at the same time. The challenge is in making the audience understand this fact whenever it occurs and this film succeeds in that. Hope the editor wins an oscar for his effort. A film that can possibly upset The Revenant in atleast one of the big awards.
