Wondering why director Tom McCarthy would not credit Academy Award nominee Richard Jenkins, who "appears" as a telephone voice. (McCarthy directed Jenkins to his Oscar nod in "The Visitor.")
Jenkins voices real-life psychotherapist Richard Sipe in several phone conversations, and his character adds very important information to the investigation at the heart of the film.
"Spotlight" joins a long list of excellent films about working journalists. Be sure to watch these, too:
"All The President's Men" — The granddaddy of them all. (10 stars out of 10.)
"Shattered Glass" (9 stars)
"Absence of Malice" (9 stars)
"Veronica Guerin" (10 stars)
"State of Play" (8 stars ... starring Rachel McAdams, also in "Spotlight")
"The Hunting Party" (8 stars)
"The Paper" (8 stars ... starring Michael Keaton, also in "Spotlight")
"The Bang-Bang Club" (9 stars)
"The Insider" (9 stars)
