Doubt
From Miramax Films comes one of the most honored and acclaimed motion pictures of the year, Doubt. Based on the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play, Doubt is a mesmerizing, suspense-filled drama with four riveting performances from Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis that will have you pinned to the edge of your seat.
Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Streep), the rigid and fear-inspiring principal of the Saint Nicholas Church School, suffers an extreme dislike for the progressive and popular parish priest Father Flynn (Hoffman). Looking for wrongdoing in every corner, Sister Aloysius believes she's uncovered the ultimate sin when she hears Father Flynn has taken a special interest in a troubled boy. But without proof, the only thing certain is doubt.
Nominated for 5 Academy Awards and 6 Critics' Choice awards, there is no Doubt. It is "One of the best pictures of the year," (USA Today, Rolling Stone, New York Post).

Very good movie - Johnny24
This movie is really good and that is why it was nominated to serveral awards. Meyl Streep as usual delivers just another best performance. It's dramatic and has some comedy in it. Highly recommend it to watch whether on DVD or Blu-Ray if available. Enjoy...excellent - Amadeus
Although it includes some heavy themes, Doubt, is one of the most entertaining and involving films to come along in quite sometime. Rarely have my heart and mind been so engaged in a film simultaneously. At its heart, Doubt remains the stage play upon which it is based, about a priest who is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a young boy. The priest is played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and the nun investigating (Sister Aloysius, great name) the situation is played by Meryl Streep, the best living actress and the best actress of the year. The language used in the film treats the situation very carefully and the confrontations between the characters crackle with well- written intensity. The film's central theme is indeed the title: Doubt. As an audience, we are left to our own devices in judging Father Flynn's relationship to the young boy. This uncertainty is a rare and valuable thing in film today. Great performances, wonderful writing and tough themes.Doubt - Dina
This movie was so excellently done. The acting was top-notch. The story-line had me completely hooked ... and the ending was brilliantly done. (I personally wanted more, but that, ladies and gents, was the point.) The story has you sympathizing with and accusing everybody. You just don't know what to feel or who to believe. Absolutely wonderful! This one is not to be missed (unless you find the subject offensive, which some will)!
