god damn. the casting for this movie is genius. every single actor resembled these real life people so darn well.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

I see absolutely no resemblance.

[@castinmeadows6956]

@@sarcasticallyrearranged Sarcasm? If not, try 'rearranged' brain glasses. It's the resemblance in character, personality, body mannerisms, voice, and mindset that the actors nailed. Even similarities in physical appearances are there.

[@TheColdrush22]

It really is incredible.

[@ladylambeth7465]

This is my favorite movie of all time. I’ve watched it over and over again over the years - geez, at least 100 times. I come from a background of organized religion, and I can resonate with almost everything in this movie. And as much as it’s painful to watch and hear about the abuse, it really helps to know that there are people out there that truly care. And these journalists really really cared! The casting was 100% on point, honestly it couldn’t have been better. Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽 to everyone that participated in making this film, but more so to Marty Baron for pushing a “follow” to the Spotlight team. We all appreciate the team for bringing this story to the public eye with such passion, emotion and empathy. ❤

[@cherrynghh]

Looking at Mike Rezendes I just realised how great a job Mark Ruffalo did in portraying him. The mannerisms and talking speed and everything else - Ruffalo transferred all of them into his performamce. Wow.

[@xxxnarfxxx]

cuz Ruffalo is the shiiit!

[@AiNEntertainment101]

...agreed. Liev Schreiber did an awesome job, too.

Mark Ruffalo even nailed the side lip thing! wow so amazing they all matched these people even the voices.

[@ladylambeth7465]

He actually didn’t have to nail the side lip thing because he already has that going on due to a prior health condition. You can look it up. He did a phenomenal job and they casted the perfect person for this role!

[@marshall3344]

Just watched the movie. One of the best true-story-based movies ever. The most fascinating thing about this well crafted portray is its focus on how intense and fluid the whole investigation and the entire publishing process was. Watching this interview I can literally match these people with their movie characters. A MUST WATCH for everyone.

[@caseycdecker]

Watching this made me realize just how amazing of a job all the actors did. Wow.

[@kkriley91]

They are all so thoughtful and intelligent, what a great group interview.

[@savannahwalsh5549]

As an aspiring journalist and avid film lover, this interview is such a treat. Thanks so much for bringing it to us.

[@franforman7678]

After watching this, it's clear that the most important factor of the success of the investigation was the human beings involved, the human factor, the synergy, respect and generosity of spirit between these folks are evident. Now as much as I loved the movie, and I did and the incredible acting, each one of real journalists are unique characters and the real "heroes". Thoughtful and intelligent are great words to describe them .

[@AmyC531]

Wow, I had never seen the real-life Matt Carroll before - I don't think people talked enough about how spot-on the casting of Brian d'Arcy James was for him!

[@55nfabulous]

I watched this wonderful movie a while ago and recently saw again on HBO MAX. When HBO MAX removed it 😡😡🤬 I was just beside myself … so I bought it digital through KZbin👍👍👍 I watch it every day, sometimes numerous times. I watched it with sound, without sound and just listening. It is Fabulous, moving and emotional watching so many of my favorite actors pull brilliance together. But now, to hear from the actual reporters involved … WOW! Just WOW 👍👍❤️❤️❤️ What I found really cool was the cameo of Sasha and Mike at the baseball game 👍👍👍

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

I just heard about this movie tonight and wish I had known it was on the HBO Max app.

[@RobSinclaire]

Congratulations and thank you to all on the SpotLight Team!

[@moukosaan]

wow the characters look so much alike the real journalists... And the actors did a good job capturing their way of speaking and body language.

[@damonchampion823]

The movie and all the hard work this team did is absolutely incredible

[@2340Vegas]

Hollywood screenplays are usually structured so that the most cinematically exciting moments are at the half-way mark. At the half-way mark in SPOTLIGHT they decide to do a reverse look-up of Priest's histories in the Catholic Church publications. That they managed to make this exciting and dramatic is genius.

[@teaber]

These guys, and all the others like them, are my heroes. Thanks for the interview.

[@castinmeadows6956]

Anything but true in the case of Liev Schreiber and Mark Ruffalo. So, speak for yourselves. Schreiber and Ruffalo are two of the most scrupulously intelligent, articulate, and insightful of actors (on both screen and stage). Those attributes are nearly non-existent in most screen actors. Unlike solid journalists, clearly, you haven't done your homework regarding interviews with those two actors. The smart and well-spoken think, and think first, before opening their mouths.

[@nevermindthebuzzcockz113]

I'm really looking forward to this movie. Every review I've read have been 5/5. Great interview.

[@cactusqltr]

As a former Catholic in a very small town, the only sexual activity the priest was suspected of was with other women! THANK GOD!! I will forever be stunned at the fact that this activity was protected by a society that claims to have come out of the Dark Ages! This behavior would not be tolerated in any other society!! WTF?? As Garabedian said, "It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a village to abuse one", speaks to the support this most horrendous crime of all, the wholesale rape of children, had among Catholics and those in positions to stop it, instead covered it up all along the way! Just stunning!!

[@vLinko777]

[@RobJones-yn4xs]

Amazing, brilliant film and well done to all involved at the Globe. I would go as far to say this film should be shown in schools to warn kids of religious dangers to them

[@convertableburt]

You can see and hear how well leiv Schreiber did portraying martys excellent leadership and ability to clearly look at basic malpractices and ask questions that others aren't willing to ask. He politely to the interviewers question says i didnt sharpen these guys, i just came in and got them to look at a story that i thought was worth looking into. He doesn't take any credit and defaults to Robby(team player coach) to give the answer, its clear why the globe brought him in. His leadership mixed with his humility, and being an outsider was the perfect match for this team and what he helped them accomplish. He literally has the same presence in the room u just feel his words mean so much when he speaks calmly and in a few words. Reminds me of "talk softly and carry a big stick"

Is there a chance you can interview those involved in Truth as well? Another powerful movie about journalism, and the very relevant question you asked here "when is proof enough to publish a story?"

[@christinee24]

Not all priests are the same. Churches are not always privvy to what occurrs - if and when it does. Have viewed the trailer and I think the movie would be very powerful, a must see and think everyone should view it. Everyone needs to be there for children and young people and speak up when you become aware a child is at risk and speak out.

[@Chocobear555]

I agree that not all priests are the same and that churches aren't always privy to what occurs. The thing is: the higher-ups in the Catholic Church *knew* what was going on, and they chose to cover it up. Instead of protecting the children, they chose to protect the predators. And they did all of this, "in the name of God," which is among the worst forms of blasphemy. What they did is wrong on so many levels, and I'm glad they were exposed for the wolves in sheep's clothing that they are. The people who committed these acts against children should be locked up for life, and so should the people who protected the predators.

"Throughout the trial, Grassi claimed to be supported by numerous bishops, especially Cardinal Bergoglio, who, he said, “never let go of my hand [and] is always at my side.” Cardinal Bergoglio is Pope Francis. He did his own part in the coverup in South America and tried to discredit victims. To this day he denies being part of that scandal. He lies openly in his books and in public about it.

The sad fact is that we currently have a Pope that also took part in the cover up which was a universal cover up. Not just a US one. "Throughout the trial, Grassi claimed to be supported by numerous bishops, especially Cardinal Bergoglio, who, he said, “never let go of my hand [and] is always at my side.” Cardinal Bergoglio is now Pope Francis. He personally ordered a discrediting book against the victims so as to try to sway the Judges in South America. He is still lying about it to this day.

[@LSSYLondon]

If the priests are supposed to absolve you of your sin... and yet the priest is the one molesting you then you would feel helpless and it would be way worse than in Protestantism which does not have confessional on that order. I just got that. Yikes! No wonder so many were able to be abused in the RCC and remained silent for so long. That is heartbreaking.
