Review of Spotlight

Spotlight (I) (2015)
6/10
Not enough drama
24 September 2016
Like the movie United 93, the director of this drama movie try to be minimalist as possible, more documentary like than some typical Hollywood drama. In my taste, it's work well for Paul Greengrass not for Tom McCarthy.

It's well made film that deals with an interesting issue but I miss some more drama, It's a fascinating & shocking subject, so it is surprising that so many scenes are boring. Although the main focus is the Press, I hope for more humanity attitude, for example, more focus on the victim. Dramatization is not a necessarily a bad thing in films, a little more scenes who are audience oriented would have made this movie more interesting and overall better.

In other aspects, it's great movie, the actors, script, directing but it's not Network (1976), Ace in the Hole (1951) and All the President's Men (1976).
