Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review

Amazon.co.uk Review: It's always a risk when writers direct their own work, since some playwrights don't travel well from stage to screen. Aided by Roger Deakins, of No Country for Old Men fame, who vividly captures the look of a blustery Bronx winter, Moonstruck's John Patrick Shanley pulls it off. If Doubt makes for a dialogue-heavy experience, like The Crucible and 12 Angry Men, the words and ideas are never dull, and a consummate cast makes each one count. Set in 1964 and loosely inspired by actual events, Shanley focuses on St. Nicholas, a Catholic primary school that has accepted its first African-American student, Donald Miller (Joseph Foster), who serves as altar boy to the warm-hearted Father Flynn (Phillip Seymour Hoffman). Donald may not have any friends, but that doesn't worry his mother, Mrs. Miller (Viola Davis in a scene-stealing performance), since her sole concern is that her son gets a good education. When Sister James (Amy Adams) notices Flynn concentrating more of his attentions on Miller than the other boys, she mentions the matter to Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep), the school's hard-nosed principal. Looking for any excuse to push the progressive priest out of her tradition-minded institution, Sister Aloysius sets out to destroy him, and if that means ruining Donald's future in the process--so be it. Naturally, she's the least sympathetic combatant in this battle, but Streep invests her disciplinarian with wit and unexpected flashes of empathy. Of all the characters she's played, Sister Aloysius comes closest to caricature, but she never feels like a cartoon; just a sad woman willing to do anything to hold onto what little she has before the forces of change render her--and everything she represents--redundant. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

4.0 out of 5 stars PROFOUND & POIGNANT, 28 Jul 2009
By Derek Burgess (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A true to life drama depicting events that are still, sadly, a too common occurance today.

Meryl Streep gives a frightenly convincing performance of a nun on a mission, doing whatever it takes to get the out come she requires, even with a lack of evidence. It is so far removed from Donna in Mamma Mia. Well worth her Oscar nomination. She is well supported by a great cast of Amy Adams & Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Well worth a watch

4.0 out of 5 stars 5 Academy Award Nominations Yet No Prizes?, 14 Oct 2009
I admit i not only watched but bought this film blind. I'd seen the advert but wasn't sure it was worth taking an interest as the tone seemed to be one played out so many times before in movies (Good Vs Bad/Witch Hunt) The cast was impressive but -god knows- both Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman have made some iffy "straight to video" career faux-pas in the past (not to mention the fact that i only knew Amy Adams from Enchanted -Don't judge me!)But... it called out to me from the bargain shelf (to be fair i had the choice of this or The Day The Earth Stood Still... ) Well... I can honestly say i was spellbound from the opening credits! The colour pallet and the sound /picture quality of this Blu-Ray alone was worth the ten pounds.It was breathtaking (The sound of the clap of thunder in one scene was jaw-droppingly real- and i'm not easily impressed) The acting from ALL the main characters was outstanding,you truly found yourself believing and feeling for them all.In the trailer, Meryl Streep's character came across as one dimentional yet,as you watch the film unfold,you realise how you find yourself -at one time or another- understanding or at least sympathizing with each characters moral dilemma.At the end you are left with questions as well as answers,rather than just being force-fed a predictable ending.Watching this film,you can truly tell it originated from the theatre (in a good way) ALL the actors give knockout performances and i truly recommend this film.It tells a very real and heartfelt story about the ramifications of unfounded gossip.
