Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep) serves as principal at a Catholic middle school where her domineering attitude clashes with popular Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Sister Aloysius becomes suspicious of Father Flynn after he delivers a sermon on the power of "doubt" and asks one of her teachers, Sister James (Amy Adams), to advise her of any strange behavior. Sister James reports that the school's only Black student, Donald Miller (Joseph Foster), smelled like alcohol after visiting Father Flynn. Now, Sister Aloysius sets out to rid the school of Father Flynn's influence and, in the process, nearly tears the community apart. The film received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress (Streep), Supporting Actor (Hoffman), and both Amy Adams and Viola Davis (for her role as Donald Miller's mother) for Supporting Actress. 1 User Review

| | aintsweetrose 09/04/2011 | | Doubt was on a cable channel a few months ago, i think it was bravo, i watched this movie from the beginning to the end without moving. Being rasied Catholic there were so many things I could relate to. Meryl Streep was absolutely spectacular and if she didn't receive any awards for Doubt, no doubt she should have. Excellent performance by all the other actors too. The African American lady who played the mother of the student in this movie is now starring in current film/movie The Help. |
