Doubt (DVD)

Doubt (2008) starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Viola Davis. Set in 1964 in a Catholic elementary school in the Bronx -- strict Sister Aloysius (Streep) begins to have doubts about one of the priests, the personable Father Flynn (Hoffman). Streep is, as always, excellent in her portrayal of the well-intentioned but misguided nun. Hoffman and Adams both hold their own when they share the screen with her. Did Father Flynn have an improper relationship with one of his students? You will have to decide for yourself. (Note: The subtitles are excellent.) Grade: B+
