The Frame

The director says his biopic is a father-daughter story that reflects on screenwriter Aaron Sorkin as well as Boyle. He says it's important to tell stories about men like Jobs who now have more power than governments and who are humanized by the women in their lives.

"Spotlight" centers around the true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation within that city's Catholic archdiocese. The Frame's John Horn spoke with the people behind the film about keeping true to the real story, which Keaton and McCarthy have personal connections to.

The actress talks with John Horn about the British suffragette movement as depicted in her new film, the courage of Pakistani activist Malala, and women in Hollywood.

Rooney Mara is 30 and has only been in a handful of films, but she's worked with some top directors, including Spike Jonze, Steven Soderbergh and now Todd Haynes for "Carol." Mara talks about how she never was good at anything until she found acting, how her moods affect what roles she chooses, and why getting a tribute at a young age is still a shock.

The filmmaker's film, set in the 1950s, stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara and is based on the Patricia Highsmith novel. Haynes talks about why he makes movies about women, how the gay rights movements impacted his creativity, and how he left his hometown of L.A. to come into his own as a filmmaker.
