Doubt (2008)
description written by member Zara:
In a Catholic elementary school in the Bronx, Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) begins to have doubts about one of the priests, Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who seems to have become overly involved in the life of a young African American pupil. But Flynn isn't the only one she has doubts about. Is she overreacting to the situation or is there a truth that needs to be discovered? John Patrick Shanley directs.

I liked the movie, but overcooked my expectations about it so it did not match them exactly. I imagined it to be more dramatic from the trailer. The drama is there, of course. The ending was a little bit disappointing. Meryl Streep acted "iron principal" too good for me to believe in the suggested ending. This felt a...

"Doubt" this was a very good movie however, I did not like the ending. A Catholic Priest Father Brendan Flynn played by Phillip Seymour, is a suspect in taking advantage of one of the young students who also is an alter boy that was attending a Catholic School.
