Our 2008 retrospective continues with John Patrick Shanley’s adaptation of his own Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony Award-winning 2004 stage play “Doubt: A Parable” with “Doubt” starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis. With four Oscar-nominated performances driving the gripping drama, exploring themes such as doubt and uncertainty, certainty vs. suspicion, moral responsibility, power and institutional accountability, and tradition vs. change, the film has given Aaron Isenstein, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, Tom O’Brien, and me a lot to discuss. Tune in as we talk about the writing, direction, performances, cinematography from Roger Deakins, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Please check out our past review for “Frost/Nixon.” We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy our review!
