Doubt

A very intense movie, a bit of a thriller a bit of a who dunnit mystery.

This movie follows Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep), as they battle over what they feel is right and wrong in their parish and their catholic school, in the 1960's. As the young (Flynn) and old (Sister Aloysius) battle against the old ways, and the upcoming new ways, Sister Aloysius is convinced that Father Flynn has been having to much contact with one of the young black male students, Donald, at their school. Flynn argues that since Donald is the first black student accepted at their school, he is only trying to help him through, but the Sister is sure that there is more to it, and aims to end Flynn's career at their parish.

A movie full of wonderful actors, and convincing acting, this is a must see.

This was a really interesting movie. Unlike most films I watch with tons of
action, naked chicks, machine guns, cool one liners, and special effects
this one was all about characters, character development, and acting, so all
the actors had to be SUPER on point bc well…. there were no huge
explosions, or robotic attempts to over throw the government ( yawn) for the
actors performances to lean on.

Fortunatley it did just that (err not the robot part.. bu the OTHER thing) I
mean im not gona lie there is a REASON why there aren’t too many movies
set in catholic school unless there are spooky demonic undertones (a
movie of this subject matter with less caliber actors could put you to sleep
faster than a warm glass of milk and a tranquilzer dart ( in that order)).

Fotunatley Meryl Streep RUNS ISH!!! She delivers an EXCELLENT
performance and although a bit cruel to the children is just a JOY to watch,
almost the EXACT literal opposite of Devil wears prada, she’s such
a “female Robert DeNiro” just super fun to watch. Sure she’ll never catch
iconic “ Miranda” status from this picture but there are some EXCELLENT
lines and its also really neat / sincere to see even though she IS such a
strong women with a hard non-trusting personality; she is STILL a women
in the 40s and has to bow to the will of the piests and other men. REALLY
eye opening.

Other ppl in the movie were okay too but she REALLY holds it together. As
long as you okay with kind of an “open for interpretation-independent-artsy
film” style ending you’ll really enjoy this film, it REALLY does come together
in the last second of the last minute of the last line but REALLY an
enjoyable piece of work,… hm.. I hope I didn’t just give anything away….

I’m super happy this film got nominated from as Oscar REALLY deserving *
but im super MORE happy it didn’t win. But for being set in the time period,
and in a catholic school, and NOT basing it on rambunctious zack morris/
AC Slator style kids it was a REALLY Well done film.

5 stars.
