Superb drama with brilliant casting. Based on a play, it does at times feel a little stagey, but it wasn't much of distraction for me. I love that nothing is truly resolved, leaving each person to decide for themselves what happened. |

I would not recommend this movie. The acting was great, the concept was somewhat real. But, I think it took place too long ago and with not enough real drama. There was absolutely nothing special about this film. Too much like a play. |

Fantastic |

A fantastic film with top-notch acting. i was also a big fan of the fast cutting of the editor and the I found the cinematography to be excellent as well. The angles made you feel claustrophobic and held the suspense even when nothing was happening. A must see. |

"Doubt" is probably the most superbly acted, decently directed, and beautifully written films ever made. Based on John Patrick Shanley's award-winning play, "Doubt" draws its brilliance from the fact that there is doubt on everything. Is he really a monster? Is Sister Aloysious simply hateful? Is Sister James too naive for her own good? And is Mrs. Muller a terrible mother or does she not have any other choice? This movie was brilliant. Though, it wasn't robbed at the Oscars. It was simply not the best of the year. Up there, though. |

Without a Doubt!! Outstanding Movie! |
|
This was a superb film! Riveting performances from Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman highlight this intense story of a 1964 Bronx, New York Catholic school's head nun and its chief priest, who are at odds with each other. As Sister Aloysius Beauvier, Streep is a staunch and conservatively no-nonsense disciplinarian who looks down with disdain on the free-spirited progressive ways of Father Brendan Flynn (Hoffman). Joining the father in his modern way of thinking is the youngest nun in the church, an 8th grade teacher called Sister James (Amy Adams). But there is cause for concern when Sister James uncovers evidence that the well-liked Father Flynn may be engaging in improper conduct with the only black student in the school, a 12-year-old boy named Donald. Sister Aloysius seizes thi... |

Doubt |

A GREAT! film with a PERFECT cast that's gives superb and flawless performances. Meryl Streep is outstanding and should have won the Oscar as Best Actress. Amy Adams is fantastic and Phillip Seymour Hoffman is is amazing. The film is brilliantly made and wonderfully written. Why it was not nominated for Best Picture is beyond me. |
