Thank heavens for grown-up films

It's so good to see Spotlight winning original screenplay in last night's Baftas. A proper film for grown-ups that explores serious issues. Journalism at its best and screenwriting at its finest.

Award winners are so frequently the blockbusters, rather than the films that make you think. Escapism has its place, but it's no surprise that Ex Machina lost out on special visual effects to the latest Star Wars. Subtlety definitely isn't one of the criteria.
