“Spotlight,” the movie about The Boston Globe’s Pulitzer
Prize-winning investigation of the coverup of sexual abuse by Roman
Catholic priests, had its general release on Friday and film critics
agree: “Spotlight” is one of the best movies of the year.
Jack Dunn had a different reaction. After seeing the film at the Loews theater across from Boston Common, he stepped onto the sidewalk and threw up. The movie sickened him because he is portrayed as someone who minimized the suffering of those who were sexually abused, as someone who tried to steer Globe reporters away from the story, as someone invested in the coverup.
