Great cast, great writing, great film. Loved that the story was the most important thing in the entire film. It was never dramatic for drama’s sake. It had a consistent feel to it. Beautifully shot with a slightly faded grade and lots of soft colours helped handle a sensitive topic well. The score was a great accompaniment and never intrusive.

The whole film feels like celebration of hardworking and dedicated journalists serving their community by delivering the truth. It was a real eye-opener to the power of the church, how utterly terrifying that is and how important integral journalism is.
