This is one of those rare films that gripped me throughout and had me wanting to turn around and go straight to the next showing to see the all again.
Shown from the Boston Globe perspective, it covers the horror of the abuse and the appalling inaction, without unnecessarily dwelling on intimate detail, while not sparing us the horror. Yes, we heard specifically what happened to these children, but in a sensitive way, and the devastating aftermath was what was laid bare.
Film if the year so far for me, excellent acting all round, especially from Michael Keaton and Mark Gruffalo. And it's gripping to the last, even the closing seconds had my jaw dropping.
