    DOUBT is undoubtable one of the BEST movie of the year! Grade: SOLID A

    Dec. 18 - I just attended the advance press screening of this EXCELLENTLY produced/directed/acted 104-minute movie based on a original play by John Patrick Shanley who also directed and screen-wrote this Oscar-worthy movie.

    Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Viola Davis were PHENOMENAL in their masterful portrayals. This HIGH caliber of acting skills is certainly why movies SHOULD be made.

    Although set in 1964, the heavy themes explored in the movie are applicable to this day and age's trials, tribulations and current events - prejudice, intolerance, obedience, compassion/kindness, faith/religion, etc.

    DOUBT is certainly not the usual average Hollywood formulaic mind-numbingly mindless explosion-filled bullet-riddled 'blockbuster' or hollow comedies - it is a substantial movie that is thought-provoking and controversial.

    VERDICT:
    A MUST SEE movie!
    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    What do you do when you have no doubt, that you aren't sure what you think you're sure about?

    Who is god? Who is godlike? And who can judge either?

    If you aren't prepared to think, go see this film because it will make you feel, instead.

    Meryl Streep was absolutely incredible in her dead-on Catholic school nun with yardsticks for hands. She brilliantly balanced a cold, dogmatic persona with snippets of compassion, in her spoken and body language (so the script was good too). Phillip Seymour Hoffman, another stellar performance. But the best performance of the film, to me, was the 10 minutes or so that Viola Davis got on the screen to wow us. Unbelievable. Intense. Profound. Happy. Sad. Amy Adams was very good, as well. The film was expertly cast, period.

    Just a beautiful film. Jarring. Go see it.
