Rate it: Doubt (2008)

4. I personally find it overwrought and hamfisted in its approach. Streep is well-cast as a patrician nun on paper but the character is so one-note as to become laughable. Hoffman's pretty low-energy throughout and I find it one of his rare weak efforts. Davis is cloying and this performance exhibits her worst tendencies as an actress. Adams is really the only one who comes off well here.

10/10. My no. 2 performance from Streep and Adams makes my all time sup. actress lineup. Such a layered piece of writing, all the little symbols like the windows and scenes where they're really talking about like three things at once beyond the surface level. There's a reason it won the Pulitzer Prize, no one writes like that anymore. Very underrated work from Deakins too and creates a tense claustrophobic feel. Really nothing I'd criticize here.

Geez guys, of all the movies to have a pile on for this is not it.

7.5 / 10

It's one of the better modern play adaptations of modern times - the problem is it needs 4 powerhouse turns....it gets 3.......Amy Adams overdoes the wide eyed innocent schtick and is the weak link......if you see it on stage the film's seams show when one thread frays......

PSH has a scene - the gossip scene speech - that is one of the great scenes of this great actors career
