Exclusive: ‘Spotlight’ TV Spot Puts the Film on Your Oscar Radar

When people asked me the best film I saw at TIFF this year, I didn’t even hesitate: Spotlight. Tom McCarthy’s drama about the Boston Globe special report team that broke the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal is a masterful ode to shoe leather journalism. It’s a modern day All the President’s Men that celebrates print journalism rather than laments its demise. Packed with terrific performances from its outstanding cast, this is a movie you absolutely have to see when it opens near you.

Open Road has provided us with an exclusive Spotlight TV spot below. It’s brief, and while nothing can be “spoiled” in terms of the plot, it does a good job of conveying the doggedness of the characters and the importance of the story.

Spotlight opens in limited release on November 6th, and stars Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Liev Schreiber, Rachel McAdams, Stanley Tucci, Billy Crudup, and John Slattery.
