4/5 VERY INTERESTING MOVIE
  by M. Vick (BROOKLYN, NY USA)
I ENJOYED THE MOVIE. IT TOOK TOO LONG TO GET GOOD. I THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SUSPENCEFUL.

5/5 Very Good Acting
  by Mickey H. Leatherman (Oklahoma)
This is a good movie and I originally saw it at a theatre. When it came out on BluRay, I wanted a copy of it for my collection. I recommend it.

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
  by ds
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
  by Ms Diva
This a very intense movie leaving the viewer with alot of self examination. Excellent performances by all the actors.

bonus Features Include From Stage To Screen, Scoring Doubt, The Sisters Of Charity

It's always a risk when writers direct their own work, since some playwrights don't travel well from stage to screen. Aided by Roger Deakins, of No Country for Old Men fame, who vividly captures the look of a blustery Bronx winter, Moonstruck's John Patrick Shanley pulls it off. If Doubt makes for a dialogue-heavy experience, like The Crucible and 12 Angry Men, the words and ideas are never dull, and a consummate cast makes each one count. Set in 1964 and loosely inspired by actual events, Shanley focuses on St. Nicholas, a Catholic primary school that has accepted its first African-American student, Donald Miller (Joseph Foster), who serves as altar boy to the warm-hearted Father Flynn (Phillip Seymour Hoffman). Donald may not have any friends, but that doesn't worry his mother, Mrs. Miller (Viola Davis in a scene-stealing performance), since her sole concern is that her son gets a good education. When Sister James (Amy Adams) notices Flynn concentrating more of his attentions on Miller than the other boys, she mentions the matter to Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep), the school's hard-nosed principal. Looking for any excuse to push the progressive priest out of her tradition-minded institution, Sister Aloysius sets out to destroy him, and if that means ruining Donald's future in the process--so be it. Naturally, she's the least sympathetic combatant in this battle, but Streep invests her disciplinarian with wit and unexpected flashes of empathy. Of all the characters she's played, Sister Aloysius comes closest to caricature, but she never feels like a cartoon; just a sad woman willing to do anything to hold onto what little she has before the forces of change render her--and everything she represents--redundant. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
