Doubt
This powerhouse drama of baseless accusations and inferences is alternately fascinating and annoying. The entire story exists within the minds of the viewers as nothing is ever clearly stated and nothing is ever fully resolved. The film plays out differently for each viewer which is a triumph of sorts, but the characters are all so unlikable that I had a hard time enjoying the supurb craftmanship going on. The acting is top notch. The directing is a bit heavy-handed, butnever obtrusive and the location & period (a Catholic school in the Bronx, 1964) is lovingly rendered.
Guess my own experience with the nuns who taught me makes me despise the needy, cranky and life-hating evil bitches in this film.
not for everyone.
6/10
