Invigorating moviemaking in every way imaginable, "Spotlight" is spot-on.
Adam Graham, Detroit News

"Spotlight" isn't quite as good as "All The President's Men," the gold standard of films about journalism. But it's close.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

This is why Spotlight's moral of humility is so powerful. There are so many things that we don't know, so many assumptions that we don't recognize as such, so many questions that we haven't even thought to ask.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

If there was a Best Ensemble acting category, the cast of Spotlight would be a frontrunner. The film has no lead actor but there are five or six strong supporting performances.
