The real event is shocking enough, so the unmodified line drawing is more precious. I hate the cheap and meaningless sensationalism. I really like the restraint from the beginning to the end of the film.

A very stable and solid investigative thriller, which reproduces the critical process of the Focus Reporting Group investigating a large number of Catholic priests' sexual abuse scandals. The original report won a Pulitzer Prize, and the film is like a heavy documentary literature. Keaton and Ruflow showed a very high level of performance, and McAdams was in good condition, and the film was very Oscar-like. Keaton answered the phone at the end of the office and called hello to focus, the finishing touch was great
