In 2001, the Boston Globe chose to dig into the long-whispered rumors that the city's Catholic Archdiocese had been hushing up sexual molestation claims for decades. The dogged and dicey investigation by editor Robby Robinson (Michael Keaton) and his staffers (Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Brian d'Arcy James), and the aftershocks that roiled the world and the Church, are rivetingly recounted in this ensemble piece. Director Tom McCarthy's ("The Station Agent") drama won Oscars for Best Picture and Original Screenplay and co-stars Liev Schreiber, John Slattery, Stanley Tucci. 127 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
