Doubt

They look like victims of a Hawthorne parable. Anyway, the movie would have been better as a play, because it is a play, but even though it lacks the intimacy of a stage performance, the movie uses its remoteness to raise concerns too serious to dismiss but too difficult to dispel. And although I've seen plenty of films that are better conceived, better executed, and better received, Doubt makes competent moves and deserves its confidence, because although it conceals its truth, the film values, and does not exploit, its ambiguity. Given the subject under study, that decision not to disclose seems more responsible than elusive.
