If I'm over-rating this, it's not because I saw it in cinema. The moment it went from an 8 to a 9 was when they showed 2 or 3 children in ST's conference room, waiting to be interviewed for their case... before the story hit the papers. Then the phones ringing non-stop the morning of publication cemented the deal. The final number of priests (epilogue title card) was a lot more than projected.
MK was much better than expected in a completely non-wise-cracking role.
Won Best Picture and Best Writing, 4 other noms that year.
