Doubt (2008)

Title: Doubt (2008)

Plot: A new more progressive priest Father Flynn (Philip Seymoure Hoffman) in 1964 can be bit questionable. When the catholic school accepts it's first black student Donald Miller (Joseph Foster) political change sweeps through the community. When Father Flynn displays interest in the boy the schools tough "rules and discipline" principle Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) suspects that there is more at stake for young Donald Miller. Convinced of her suspicions but with no proof she digs as deep as she can so that she can finally rid of "good" old Father Flynn.

Acting/Directing/Writing: Of course you could not expect better acting from Philip Seymoure Hoffman and Meryl Streep both screen stealer's and well deserved award winners the film was perfectly acted. Directed by John Patrick Shanley the movie was drama filled and excellently executed. The story was deep but the ending of course was not satisfying because of the never ending "Doubt."

Basic Thought: I liked it. I enjoy watching Meryl Streep because she gets so into character. She was very convincing along side Philip Sermoure Hoffman. I'm glad I watched it and glad to see it's well earned awards. However like I said the ending was a little unsatisfying I felt at the end of the film that I could have seen at least a half hour more of film. I could have had more from the characters and from the story itself.

Would I Suggest It: I liked it, I'll give it a 7/10 due to lack of ending. I will be honest in saying however that I am glad I didn't pay $10 to see it. Not a need for big screen movie, but a good watch nonetheless.
