Doubt
Directed by John Patrick Shanley1h 44m2008
In 1964 Bronx, two Catholic school nuns question the new priest's ambiguous relationship with a troubled African-American student.
Our read: Doubt (2008) reads as a sombre, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold.
