I genuinely think this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm a real sucker for 'based on a true story' films, especially when the content is so riveting and this film really hit the mark. This cast is phenomenal, each character had a purpose, had meaning, had heart. The plot is obviously so intriguing and it keeps you pulled in. You find yourself rooting for Spotlight throughout the film and you can feel how much each of these characters love the story, are passionate about the story, through the screen. And Mark Ruffalo? He was the stand out to me, no doubt. He has this screen presence that is unlike most actors I've seen. I love this film.

A normal story with an interesting King spin
This starts off this starts off as a normal and interesting tale of a wife escaping her abusive husband, but in true King style, it goes completely off the scale with its supernatural twist. In all honesty, I found some of the supernatural side a little too bonkers, but it is still an enjoyable read, albeit maybe a bit on the long side.

Book Rating
[Beyond the Fortuneteller's Tent] by [Kristy Tate] was a great twist on YA romance. It involves time travel and finding your true love. The adventures and twists make this story different than your typical YA paranormal romance (a genre too filled with vampires).

I compared it to the [Outlander] series but PG because I would be disturbed to see my students reading [Galbadon] but would gladly recommend the [Beyond] books.

Deserving Best Picture Winner
I'm so happy that this film won the Best Picture Oscar, it is by the far the best film I saw in 2015 and deserves every accolade thrown at it. It has a fantastic ensemble cast, and despite the sombre and depressing subject matter, still comes across as an excellent film. It might be difficult to watch, but it's a brilliant telling of a true story.

Beautiful movie
I wanted to watch this after learning that it was based off of a true story. Even if you don't care for musicals, this has a pretty good storyline and, of course, great actors to support it. I could have done without a couple of the songs but there were a couple I thought were actually great. All in all, it's a beautiful movie and I'd watch it again.
