      Saw it. It's title is overly ambitiious. It's story line betrays the title. Obverse reactions: when Meryl expressed her "certainties" the story line expressed "doubt." In the end as tokenism to the title, she expressed dought when the story line evidence overwhelmingly convicted him and the Church.

      The Church hierarchy transferred him (a la real life) four times with a substantial promotion in the end (real life again). She gathered her evidence 'below' the accepted chain of command, which the protagonist priest soundly rebuked her for her "lack of obedience." Nun-to-nun she compiled her case. (He knew the hierarchy would protect him?) So she won too handily to support the so-called "doubt" of the title. It should have ended conflicted. Maybe take out the transfers at least?

      Story line too weak, but acting good - especially the black mother - fantastic.

      Scuse me. Black mother = Viola Davis.
