Doubt is a fictional drama, starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, about a mid-1960s confrontation between an imperious Bronx nun in charge of a parochial school and a liberal priest she is convinced has behaved improperly with a student.

I only went to see this as it has been touted as a possible for Best Picture. The acting by both Streep and Hoffman are superb. Streep is at her best, including facial expressions and body language. One must pay attention to the dialog as every word is important.

I don’t understand why this was a Christmas release other than it was Winter in the movie. It is not a light-hearted, feel-good type movie, but for sheer quality of acting, it is a must see.
