Doubt--A Movie Review

OK, I know that movies are supposed to be Patty's domain, but I'm going to post a review and urge you all to see the movie Doubt, starring Meryl Streep, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis. It is seriously amazing. I was riveted the entire movie and it was approx. 2 hours long. It felt like less, it moved so quickly. Basically a nun suspects a priest of child molestation and sets out to get to the truth. Nothing is ever shown that is tawdry, and it is never mentioned explicetly, but you get the idea of what is going on through the facial expressions and body language of the cast. Seriously amazing. I loved it beginning to end and would see it again. It is a great look into how life is for those in the Catholic church in the 1960s. Excellent movie and they all deserve awards. Everybody should go see the movie DOUBT.
