From what I have read the Tony-Award and Pulitzer-Prize-winning play of 2004 (Doubt: A Parable) written by John Patrick Shanley who also wrote the screenplay and directed this 2008 movie, made the plot’s resolution much more ambiguous. The…

This is one of the very best movies I have ever seen. Every actor brought their character to life and kept me believing. The playwright created a dramatic masterpiece, in my opinion. And I have been a Viola Davis admirer since I first…

Had no idea what it was about (since I started it without even bothering to read the description.) but I really enjoyed it. Not the best movie I've ever seen, but the acting by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Meryl Streep and Viola Davis was…

This is a slow moving story. The script takes place about 1965. It shows how strict the catholic schools were with discipline. In this story the priest was trying to be more human yet strict with the kids. The Head Nun was very…

Thank you Meryl Streep, Hoffman, Davis and Adams! The characters were real enough to be an interesting story about a yet another controversial subject. I've read comments about some interpreting Hoffman's character being a molester. I…

Riveting performances from Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The characterizations are so well balanced. Meryl Streep gives us yet another persona we have not seen from her. The neighborhood, interiors and scene settings…

This is a 2008 American drama directed by John Patrick Shanley, based on his own stage play "Doubt: A Parable." It is a gripping, suspense-filled and profoundly thought-provoking drama with riveting performances of the main actors. I…

I got a little bored watching this. I was just checking out some Phillip Seymour Hoffman movies, and thought this one might be good, but I wouldn't recommend it. It gave me something to think about, but only at the very end!....I just read…

“What do you do when you’re not sure…” intones Fr. Flynn during a Sunday sermon, “…doubt can be a bond as powerful as certainty.” This pretty much sets the tone for Shanley’s brilliantly executed drama about an embittered mother superior…

I shall not forget Sister Aloysius Beauvieer, played by Meryl Streep anytime soon. Just look at her picture of the DVD box. That is the lady who plays the iron fisted by the rules principal of a Catholic School. Her work in this film is…

Excellent acting, but a real downer.

Despite the extremely good performances (especially Viola Davis) this is really a PRO-CATHOLICISM campaign film disguised as a true independent film allegedly based on the play of the same name period.The relationship between the black boy…

A trio of superb actors:Streep, Adams and Hoffman. The performances are strong. The story keeps you guessing. A slow drama, but an above average one. Such an awful topic.

The movie is good until the last 3 minutes when it becomes a great movie. A subject, shadowed along the way, is brought home in the end and is the real cautionary tale.

Great ensemble acting by Hoffman, Adams, and Davis (who is a standout). Unfortunately, Meryl Streep struggles with her role, dropping then adding an accent, and depicts a nun a la wicked witch of the west rather than a full fleshed out…

The movie is a cerebral feast that may not appeal to a wider audience but it's taut story is incredibly cleaver in challenging the viewer and will have you taking sides all the while challenging your own doubts about the side you have…

Excellent performances for all three main roles (Adams, Hoffman, and Streep) as well as some secondary roles (Davis and Foster). Cinematography and direction capture the mood/feel of the times and location very well. // Themes include:…

It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained. But it was NOT worth a long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box.

Outstanding cast. Great performances. Meryl Streep is an exceptional talent. Difficult subject matter. The sickness of pedophilia and perhaps branding an innocent person as such unfairly. Heavy stuff. FIVE STARS.

Kind of creepy plot but great acting! As usual Meryl Streep was amazing! I highly recommend this movie!

Tremendous acting and interesting characters. Streep and Hoffman give intense and complex performances.
