Review of Doubt (2008) by Paul W — 29 Jan 2012
An extremely condensed movie with some mind-blowing, top-notch performance by Streep, Hoffman and Davis.
Adopted from a play, and also written for screen, by John Patrick Shanley, Doubt is an extraordinary movie with a very short, yet controversially deep and mind-provoking, plot line. Stripping it of the religious embellishments, the film raises some grave questions about the very bud of faith and tackles the concept of certainty Vs doubt. Which is more human? Which is more soul-gratifying? And most importantly, which is closer to the truth? Those are some of the questions that the movie masterfully poses and gives no answer to, leaving your mind buzzing for days.
