This is a chilling and gripping story. As many users have written, it is long on talk and short on action. But the talk is all very necessary in leading us slowly and frighteningly to the awful truth about clergy sexual abuse, and the role of the hierarchy - in this case Bernard Cardinal Law - in covering ti up. (Sadly there are still many diehard Catholics who maintain that the whole clergy abuse story - which has gone worldwide - is an anti-Catholic plot.)
All the cast is excellent, especially Michael Keaton, who has come very far since his Beetlejuice days. There's a personal angle for me, as I used to work at the Globe's Morrissey Blvd. Plant, and the film is shot largely in the actual facility, which has now been restructured for other purposes.
The movie's rating of 8.1 is entirely deserved.
