Movie this Month:  Doubt (2008)

Description:  Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman were nominated for Oscars at the 81st Academy Awards for this film. Written and directed by John Patrick Shanley, based on his Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony Award-winning stage play, Doubt: A Parable, this movie takes place in a Catholic elementary school named for St Nicholas.

It is a metaphor for worldwide uncertainty over priests accused of pedophilia – specifically through Father Flynn’s resignation as an indication of guilt and then Sister Aloysius’s subsequent doubt. It is an inspiration from real-life incidents and explores themes that are relevant in society today.
