Doubt**

(US 2008)                             

Miramax/Godspeed Productions. 104m.

At a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964, the head nun accuses the resident priest of indecently assaulting the school's only black child.
Thoughtful, nostalgically observed drama, a sort of ecclesiastical variation of The Crucible and Dead Poets Society, retaining most of the original play's tension, although the main character is still strictly one-dimensional, despite the best that Meryl can do.
