3/4  A smart drama that lets its audience decide
A telling drama of the judgments put upon by others without certainty; Streep and Hoffman are excellent, but it's the handling that rings true as the script leaves the viewer to make up their own minds about what happened: a trick that w... (read full)

1.5/4  Doubt Quick Review
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.

5/5 Stunning!
  by Molly A. Huff (Michigan)
Wow, I am late to watch this movie, but wow! I had no idea that this movie would be so good. There have been so many mixed reviews that I shied away, but now that I have finally seen it I am dumbfounded. The level of acting in this movie was astounding! I felt for the characters and they sucked me into thier story. Now I can understand why a lot of people will dislike this movie, because it is a very melancholy movie, BUT the depth of the story just enchanted me. I like the fact that story is based around doubt, because if you think about it, haven;t we all accused someone unjustly because we are certain when it might not be true? I guess for me this story just hit a note in my heart. This movie will be on my top for a long time to come!

1/5 Not worth the media space it is printed on

Yes harsh, and I love Hoffman and Streep, but this movie completely misses. I will begin by saying doubt is usually a process implying a struggle of ideas over time. Never mind me the corny powerful wintery storms that appear exactly when the movie presents key conflicts of traditionalism vs. progressivism and the struggle between Sister Aloysius Beauvier and Father Flynn. Yes, I will overlook that if there were any real struggle of ideas or important presentations of movements through the balance of this film. As the movie progressed I was expecting to see something far deeper than Sister Aloysius Beauvier's mission to remove Father Flynn from the parish due to his progressive practices, let alone possible pediphilia. Instead we see her succeed in her selfish endeavor only to later fall into despair as she realizes her Catholic faith has been challenged if not lost altogether. This is shallow because it ends just there. Missed was an opportunity to depict a great struggle of doubt vs faith illustrated through the lifeless practice of the old perfect virtue vs. the progressive breakthrough of human acknowledgment. I journeyed through the movie anticipating at some turn a corridor of profound depth through the simple discovery of compassion, tolerance, and charity. In contrast the makers of this movie passed on as deep what is really extremely shallow. The movie ended with no examen of consciousness, no self discovery, not even a personal challenge to their vocational choices. Rather instead the movie just ends with the fighter taken a dive in the first round after a long buildup, now roll the credits.

5/5 Meryl Streep shines
