Doubt ***1/2

I watched 'Doubt' several days ago. I've taken a little while to mull it over and I still have not come to any inspiration about the film. It's really sad...

Ok, so Meryl Streep and the entire cast did an exceptional job in all of the roles. I felt as if I were in a Catholic school in the '60s. So that's a job well done.

The plot revolves around Streep's suspicion of a priest and his possibly inappropriate relationship with a male student. In the end, we get no real resolution on this matter... doubt!
The priest just goes on to the next parish... to do it again???

As for the kids, it's probably ok for them to watch, but the subject matter is really too grown up for me... So just spare them this one.

I think that this movie disturbed me a little more than most because I know someone who WAS molested by a Catholic priest in the '60s... someone without a father. It hurt me and enraged me to see this portrayed... for all of those boys! I was with Streep's character from the beginning.

I'd probably make a great crabby old nun!
