Bruce says: “Although I have not yet seen SPOTLIGHT, I’m sure there is a comparison to be made. Both films deal with priests and abuse cover-ups. Pablo Larrain (TONY MANERO, NO) takes us to a house in a remote Chilean seaside village where derelict priests have been relocated out of the public eye as part of an effort to cover up different types of crimes. An investigator from the Catholic Church arrives in the aftermath of a suicide. He is shocked and determined to close the house. The former nun who runs the house is overly protective of her position and those she is looking after. She is quietly prepared for battle. 5 cats”
