Not bad at all - drama set a year in 1964. A character movie with some great performances - no shagging.
Essentially Doubt tells the story of Sister Aloysius (Streep) who suspects that her school’s priest (Hoffman) has been molesting a male student. She is very much of the old school philosophy of teaching / religion whilst Hoffman represents a threat to her on many levels. She appears bitter , twisted and fierce but is very sure of her convictions and pursues her suspicions without any real evidence - just her gut feeling that she is right.
Some of the cinematography is gorgeous - although some scenes look as if they are preparing you for a horror flick.
Hoffman really is excellent ( as ever) and the performances of the the boys mother is brilliant and unexpected.
