Doubt

Powerhouse acting performances are the centerpiece of Doubt. A priest is suspected of inappropriate behavior toward one of the boys at a catholic school. The fierce principal and a meek, optimistic young teacher are the accusers. In the polite fashion of the early 60s, much is unsaid in conversations and confrontations. This film left me with a degree of doubt. A screenplay and performances that were so strong and intriguing, that I'll be thinking about this one for a while.
