Movie Review: DOUBT



Allie:



An interesting look at truth. It's hard to know what is true these days - with so many people saying so many things. I loved the costumes in this movie and especially loved Amy Adams, she plays this kind of character perfectly. It's not a must in the theatre for me - but definitely rent it.

Bradley:



Hoffman, Streep and Adams give excellent performances in this brilliant argument over religion and truth. Each phrase carefully crafted, each word precisely calculated, this story provides just enough information in stages for the viewer to form gut instincts about each character, and then adds something new to cause you to doubt them. This film doesn't have the typical ending that is wrapped up in a pretty bow, and that's the point. It's an experience in doubt itself, and causes you to ask yourself some interesting questions long after the credits have scrolled, which is the best kind of movie.
