Doubt

Infuriating, infectious, crippling doubt runs rampant in this powerful, riveting, superbly acted film, which is nominated for five Golden Globe awards, in which a strict, stern, commanding, tenacious, and highly feared principal (Meryl Streep) at a private Catholic school in the Bronx becomes convinced that a well-liked priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is sexually abusing a bullied African-American student (Joseph Foster), who is already tormented and abused at home by his judgmental father while his hardworking mother (Viola Davis) is helpless to prevent it, after a compassionate, mild-mannered nun (Amy Adams) fuels her suspicions in 1964.
