Are you looking for an alternative to mainstream film? Join the Bozeman Film Society downtown at the Ellen Theatre in February for a highly rated, adult-oriented film!
On Wednesday, February 17th at 7:30pm, BFS will screen the multi-Award-winning Spotlight. Spolight tells the riveting true story behind the Boston Globe Investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world’s oldest and most trusted institutions. When the newspaper’s tenacious “Spotlight” team of reporters delves into allegations of abuse in the Catholic Church, their year-long investigation uncovers a decades-long cover-up at the highest levels of Boston’s religious, legal, and government establishment, touching off a wave of revelations around the world. Nominated for 6 Academy Awards, 3 Golden Globes, and SAG Winner for Best Film Ensemble, Spolight is a tense, investigative drama-thriller, tracing the steps to one of the biggest cover-ups in modern times. The film is directed by Academy Award nominee Tom McCarthy and stars Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, John Slattery, Brian d’Arcy James, Billy Crudup, and Stanley Tucci. It holds a 96% Rotten Tomato Score. A.O. Scott of the New York Times wrote, “Spotlight is a gripping detective story and a superlative newsroom drama.” 127 minutes. Rated R.
