Tom McCarthy’s Oscar nominated film Spotlight has no doubt triggered both uncomfortable silences and fiery debates around the world. Set in Boston in 2001 and based on true events, the film offers a harrowing view of the extent of the child sex abuse crisis within the Archdiocese of Boston and the broader Catholic Church. Having spent the better half of two hours shrunken back into my seat, I will admit, Spotlight is not easy to watch. But maybe sometimes a bit of discomfort is exactly what we need.
