Coming out this week from Open Road Films is the tense investigative dramatic-thriller Spotlight, directed by Academy Award-nominee Tom McCarthy. Spotlight opens in select cities on Friday, November 6 and then expands nationwide on November 20.
Written by Josh Singer and McCarthy, the cast includes Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, John Slattery, Stanley Tucci, Brian d’Arcy James, and Billy Crudup.
The year is 2001. Walter “Robby” Robinson (Michael Keaton) leads the Globe’s investigative unit “Spotlight,” which includes Michael Rezendes (Mark Ruffalo), Sacha Pfeiffer (Rachel McAdams), and Matt Carroll (Brian d’Arcy James), in an inquiry regarding sexual abuse by Catholic priests. They have their work cut out for them. Despite repeated allegations — decades worth — of misconduct against minors under its care, the Church has long made a habit of simply moving the accused priests from parish to parish rather than allowing them to face justice. As the Globe’s team finds layer after layer of cover-up, their investigation becomes a quest that goes on for months, pushing their psychological endurance to the limit.
