The scene with the impaled mice was way over the top. Though, to be fair, they needed a strange sex scene to keep you awake.

10/10 would recommend. This is a must watch for everyone. I cried so much. Horrific subject matter told in such a wonder way that provided justice and recognition to the vicitms as well as continuing to hold the Catholic Church and their supporters accountable for the horrific acts they perpentrated all over the world and continue to do to this day. The portrayal of the journalists was fantastic and in this day and age honestly, we need more terrific investigative journalists who aren't afraid to take on systematic injustices. Great cast, great dialouge, great sets, a little slow setting the scene at the beginning but none the less a terrific film.

Mind blowing stuff. I've just finished watching this movie and am blown away by it. I have a lot of deep respect for those newspapers who risk their lives going after the truth.
