The plot of the movie
Based on a true story the story of investigative journalism one of the biggest in the history of US sex scandals. Correspondents Boston newspaper expose cases of pedophilia, which accused the representatives of the church.
2001, a major reputable newspaper "Boston Globe" comes a new editor - Marty Baron, a man of liberal views and a supporter of financial priorities in publishing. His meeting with Walter Robinson, who heads a group of investigative journalism, ending that one of the journalists sent to a lawyer who deals with the protection of child victims of sexual abuse by priests. Lawyer reluctantly tells about dozens of cases of rape of children - and the wheel begins to spin investigative journalism with relentless force. In case they are not dozens, but hundreds, and not only in Boston and across America - the powers that be are advised journalists headed by Robinson to stop digging up the past, but the truth is more expensive for them.
Surprisingly okay tailored and conscientiously filmed "The focus" sometimes does not seem like a feature film - all the characters exist only in the information cloud that marked eloquent tags "pedophilia", "rape", "priest" and the like. Despite the fact that the documentary and impartiality here, too, the matter does not smell, director and writer Tom McCarthy at the outset like journalists who, like paladins of good and light, attack the blemish dragon. More hard-hitting film about the church, perhaps, just can not remember - and clerics argue there's nothing special and nothing: all the events actually took place in real life, and real journalists who wrote about them, were awarded the Pulitzer Prize, one of the US's most prestigious awards.
And even from a formal point of view, "Spotlight" - a film right and necessary, but for the film, which was nominated once for six "Oscars", to put it mildly, has not the most obvious artistic merit. Yes, the script cleverly creates tension only by means of some dialogues, yes, the actors, despite the lack of privacy (just the most informative cloud), look like living characters, but occasionally it is difficult to escape the thought that the screen is created for some transcendental mokyumentari rather than feature films. Perhaps this is a conscious decision of the director, who decided not to obscure the main message sucked from the finger drama, and perhaps even good luck, but the film is very similar to McCarthy meal at an expensive restaurant - small and showy, it inevitably leaves a feeling of hunger.
