The plot is a bit dull, but overall a decent movie Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Araya B (The interesting facts about the doubt, the stage, and the movie production) John Patrick Shanley wrote the play "Doubt" and its 2008 movie adaptation. The film was directed by John Patrick Shanley himself and produced by Mark Roybal, Celia D. Costas, and Scott Rubin. You can find this film on many streaming platforms today, such as YouTube, Prime Video, and Paramount+, just to name a few. It premiered on Broadway as a play from March 31, 2005, to July 2, 2006, at the Walter Kerr Theatre. The playwright is about a young black boy named Donald Miller who attended a Catholic school during the period of segregation in 1964 in New York City, and he was the only child of color. The young man came from a hard family life he was also kind of poor. Being that the boy came from a hard background, and being that his father hit him at home, and his mother always turned a blind eye. The priest, Father Flynn, in the school sees that Donald is having a hard time adjusting to the new school, and he can see that he is being picked on by some of his classmates. Donald sees this as warm and kind, and he really appreciates it. On the other hand, two nuns who work at the school. Sister Aloysius has a suspicion that the young boy Donald, is being sexually assaulted by Father Flynn. Sister Aloysius goes to tell Sister James her suspicions. Sister James starts to wonder as well, but is also starting to play into sister aloysius' delusion. They both start to watch his every movement towards the children, but Donald especially. Sister Aloysius did some digging into Father Flynn and why he left his old church and moved into their church. She was able to get in contact with someone from his former church. She then also confronted his mother and told her the suspicions she was having concerning her son and Father Flynn. Donald's mother didn't want to say anything to Father Flynn or the authorities because she knew that would upset her husband, and she would rather Donald have Father Flynn as his father figure because he is showing Donald that he cares for him better than his father can. Stister Aloysius threatened Father Flynn by telling him her suspicions and sharing her knowledge of his past life. He gets nervous due to the facts of his past and how that would make him look running his reputation. He steps down and leaves the school. Sister Aloysius feels so accomplished, but a the same time, she then went on to tell sister james that she had doubts and what if she was wrong about the whole thing and just accused an innocent man. You then just left with the question: Did Father Flynn really do it? In the movie production, Meryl Streep plays sister aloysius, sister james is played by Amy Adams, and Father Flynn is played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. I really enjoyed Meryl Streep as sister aloysius because she played the character as how imagined her to be in my head, being mean and just so resentful of others. Same with Amy Adams, she played sister james as the sweetheart young nun I imagined. I felt that Father Flynn was not such a big part of the film as I hoped, because I wanted there to be a twist in the movie, finding out if he really was assaulting Donald. The scene, in my opinion, that was the best was when sister aloysius and Father Flynn were having their conversation in sister aloysius' office, and you could feel the tension in both of their voices and it had me on the edge of my seat because i wanted to know how sister was going to come up with her next move. This movie was a really good film. I felt that they touched and gave a good visual of what was expected, being very easy to understand and flow along. The design of the movie and play presented on Broadway was gloomy because everyone's clothes lacked color, but in a good way. There wasn't anything I would complain about with the sets, they fit what was imagined for the readers and watchers. The production team was creative with little things such as having sister Aloyuis being in the snow, sitting confessing that she may have been wrong, and then the camera just moving out slowly was a good addition to add the dramatic feel. Overall, the movie and play production of Dout was a 9/10 in my opinion I enjoyed it and would recommend giving it a watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Kat H Storyline was weak. Left me doubting if I had wasted my time watching it. Poor ending Meryl Streep crying and saying ' I have so many doubts' Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review Jelena M Movie is flat, nothing happens. To us as audience it is unclear why they are so tensed, did anything really happen, why are they accusing the priest. Then at the end we also have no idea if it was an empty threat, why priest changed churches so many times including this one. Nothing has happened or developed from the beginning, it could have been a 15 min video telling a short drama story. The actors are amazing but the story is not developed enought. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Sam A This film will leave you questioning and doubting. No conclusion as you need to draw your own. Streep was excellent in it and the guy who played the priest. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
