Her reference to compassion and 'the drunkard with his tot of rum', harking back to her marriage, gives a bit of a back story, but not too much. The attention to detail is incredible.

The whole film is an acting force: Adams, Hoffman, and, especially, Davis...all are great, but Streep, my god, what an actor, a role, and a performance.

i thought it was obvious all his actions were to protect the boy. Thats why they made a big deal showing the feathers AKA rumors flying everywhere and impossible to get them back. She wouldnt stop..and she had no evidence. He knew there was no way this would resolve itself and the boy would have a chance at a normal life. Im surprised to see so many comments totally believing he was a child molester and this scene or that scene proved it bc of a small decision the actor made by nodding yes and saying no, or him getting riled up about her calling another nun. No evidence was shown in the movie .. even remotely.. of his guilt. But we do know nuns like this are the norm not the exception and he knows his methods and new way of approaching religion isnt liked by old school nuns so they probably all have it out for him. In the end im surprised i havent seen more comments simply explain why he left without a fight. It was to protect the kid bc even if he won, like the feathers.. it wouldnt matter. Especially with how kids are. And his father too in his case

My theory is Sister Aloysius had an abortion earlier in life. When he confronts her about her having committed a mortal sin she begins to break. Abortion was and still is a mortal sin in the eyes of the church. My guess is that her pregnancy came about under darker circumstances. After which she felt so ashamed that she committed herself to god as a nun. Note the way she swaddles her shawl at 5:10. And the sense of protection she has over the kids at the school. Even the way she judges Donald Millers mother for turning away from the potential abuse of her son. She has a connection to these kids because she sees them as the child she lost. Just my theory.

This movie is severely underappreciated. The dialog, the acting, etc. I've seen quite a few references in the comment section eluding to Father Flynn's guilt being left up to the viewer. However, there are a couple moments in the film that are so brief that I think they are often overlooked. Ones that might tip the scales towards the priest's guilt. The scene in the Gymnasium where Flynn is showing the boys his nails. The character William London recoils when Flynn gets his nails near the boy's face with the boy expressing a subdued look of disgust. Almost as is the child has had previous experiences with the priest that made him uncomfortable; and now Flynn's sites are set on Donald Miller after possibly having "struck out" with William London.

They made a point of long, clean nails, his desire to modernise his church and his insistence on love being the most important thing, even if the rules sometimes don't allow it. He had been helping Donald Miller deal with his sexuality and the abuse he faced because of it.

I agree. I think he probably is gay-not a pedophile- and could be sympathetic to the boy's predicament (gay with a homophobic father). He may know this through confession which is supported by his statement, "you know there are many things I can't say", a reference to the seal of confession, a concept that the nun would have known. That fact may be the foundation of the doubt she expresses in the end of the film. I think it is unclear as to what his interaction with the boy was. But even the possibility of the priest being a pedophile pushes the viewer to assume he is, since his departure definitively protects the boy, and his staying puts the child at risk if there is doubt.

Then there's the unusual, stern incident Sister A mentions when he grabbed William's wrist, which shows Flynn has another side to him besides the kindness he showed Donald Miller in the hallway. The other scene is Flynn's goodbye sermon where we see Donald's sadness, juxtaposed with William's small smile, which to me confirms Flynn's guilt.

I feel like most people assumes he's guilty of being a pedophile, but my first assumption is that he's simply gay, and to people at that time, that goes hand-in-hand with sex with young boys. That's one reason the film's called "Doubt": There are certainly points where he acts guilty, but is it because he's genuinely guilty, or he's "guilty" of an unfairly-synonymous "crime"? Perhaps he's panicking over being potentially exposed because he genuinely wants to help a kid who shares his "condition" but being exposed will force him to leave, isolating the boy in a situation he empathizes with. The Church helps him in the end, but is it because he's guilty, or because their policy of protecting the guilty is protecting an innocent man? Doubt doubt doubt. "Where's your compassion?" "Nowhere you can get at it." This is the exchange an innocent man would have with a zealous inquisitor prepared to burn him at the stake. "I have no sympathy for you." And this is not what a genuine Christian would say.

His fingernail preferences is a hint towards the subtext of the movie: he is in all likelihood a homosexual, repressed (obviously), and the boy he (allegedly) abused was struggling with same sex attraction (which is the reason his father was physically abusing him) referred to as his "nature" Being a homosexual within 1960s Catholic culture was very shameful. Especially as a member of the clergy, which the boy had shown interest it. It's very likely that the boy confided with the Priest and the Priest explained that he, too, could overcome his attraction and become a priest despite his homosexuality (as the priest had done). He says this in the gym when he explains that having long fingernails or short fingernails isn't the issue. It's whether or not their dirty. He has his long, but he keeps them clean, "that makes it okay". When the Sister confronts him about this, she doesn't realize that he's hiding this secret, she believes he's hiding that he's attracted and abusing children. Thus when she says "cut your nails" he takes it as the lesson that homosexuals were given by traditional catholic teaching at the time: your nature is wrong, you have to conform to how I say so. Hope that helps broaden your perspective on the movie & life. God Bless

i thought it was obvious all his actions were to protect the boy. Thats why they made a big deal showing the feathers AKA rumors flying everywhere and impossible to get them back. She wouldnt stop..and she had no evidence. He knew there was no way this would resolve itself and the boy would have a chance at a normal life. Im surprised to see so many comments totally believing he was a child molester and this scene or that scene proved it bc of a small decision the actor made by nodding yes and saying no, or him getting riled up about her calling another nun. No evidence was shown in the movie .. even remotely.. of his guilt. But we do know nuns like this are the norm not the exception and he knows his methods and new way of approaching religion isnt liked by old school nuns so they probably all have it out for him. In the end im surprised i havent seen more comments simply explain why he left without a fight. It was to protect the kid bc even if he won, like the feathers.. it wouldnt matter. Especially with how kids are. And his father too in his case

“Sex abusing priest?” Sorry, but that’s not what the movie presumes. In fact, the New York production of the play was a one act play. At its conclusion, the audience leaves to discuss the play and which one, Father Flynn or Sister Aloysius, they believed. The author John Shanley never commented on who was telling the truth. Recall that you find out at the end that she actually never called his prior parish.

If you knew ANYTHING about human nature, psychology or predatory behavior, you'd know that the movie CLEARLY shows who's right and who's wrong. Only blind fools or those with similar tendencies as Fr Flynn have any reason to want to believe otherwise. Good luck with it.

It was so cathartic and empowering to have a film where for once the dour dogmatic religious character actually intelligently and eloquently answers and refutes the mushy feel-good doublespeak used by liberals to cloak their sin. Most liberal filmmakers (which is all of them) can't do this or don't dare. They don't normally allow us a coherent ideology, let alone a voice to express it. Too afraid of the fragility of their own worldview or too myopic to see outside of it. But we know--we know that sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind, and that sometimes cruelty can be disguised as kindness. That what seems compassionate in the moment can in the long term spell ruin. As our societies are finding out to their immeasurable cost.

Someone always has to make it political. Jeesh. It's about the pursuit of justice and how that conflicted with her beliefs, that she basically had to resort to subterfuge, to sin, in order to expose the truth. She got that justice, but she will never be the same again as she so rightly observes in that final emotional scene.

1:09 " you dont have the slgihest proof" oh my dear priest, have you forgotten about God? Jesus? Mary? they see and knowing what you've done and they know your real heart and your real intentions. The fact that you seek a pastor to back up your innocence, its ridculous, if you had nothing to hide then you would have nothing to be afraid of if the sister sesarched you. Just how christ was accused for heresy; yet christ never once seek for his innocence becauase he knew the truth and God knew too. Not all priest are meant to be one in the first place. The thing i hate about this situations is that many would say that even though i've sinned, its ok becuase christ died for my sins. Your basically taking advantage of Jesus for having died for your sins, for you to continue sinning. That makes you even worse than a person that know none of this. What makes a differences between her and him is the fact that the nun tries to be the renew christ that died for us and to keep it in order.

He was abusing several boys they give suttle hints to this in the movie..one boy flinched when he wingled his fingers at him ( when he was showing his nails) why would he flinch ? That same boy hid a gleeful smile when he announced he was leaving. All 3 boys reacted when he was telling them about girls one looked down in embarrassment and confusion. One looked angry with disgust and one was concerned but felt a connection with him. He manipulated and abused those kids.

This could easily be the other way around...about how one gets pushed over and cancelled, like so many people today. Look at Jada Pinkett to will smith or amber heard to Johnny Depp. It could very well be that Phillip Seymour actually didn't do anything wrong (he didn't touch the kid, instead he related to the kid because he knew what the kid was going through aka they were both gay) and the 'holier than thou' (meryl streep) railroaded him because of her past/old fashioned traditions.

Wow. You guys really believe he molested that boy? This is such a great film. I am watching something completely different than you guys. I see a selfish psycho who leapt at the first thing she could make up with ZERO evidence was able to convince you people of something disgusting. Wow. For her own means. She's sadistic and with nothing but talking can take this man's life away. And even after knowing he didn't do anything I still wouldn't leave him with my kids if he had an accusation against him. Her certainty of her accusations makes them believable and I had to watch it again to really decide that there is nothing at all there and you guys all believe it!

So can conservatives. Actually, despite his progressive views on certain things (like “Frosty the Snowman” and long fingernails and sugar in his tea), Father Flynn ultimately comes down on the side of conservative adherence to Catholic Church patriarchal authority, especially when he points the finger at Sister Aloysius and says, “You answer to us!” “Us” meaning the priests/cardinals/bishops/etc., the traditional hierarchical male chain of authority in the Roman Catholic Church. Sister Aloysius, despite being much more conservative than Father Flynn in a lot of the same superficial ways (hating ballpoint pens, demanding short fingernails, especially on men and boys, and being suspicious of secular songs like “Frosty the Snowman”), is actually doing very subversive and progressive things in this scene, especially as a woman who had “taken vows” as a nun in the Catholic Church. This movie is set in the backdrop of Vatican II and the changes happening at the time in the Catholic Church. Many of which were positive ones, despite the fact that the problem of priests sexually abusing kids wouldn’t be seriously dealt with in the public conversation until decades later. Also, Meryl Streep is golden when she acts. I still get chills when Sister Aloysius, played to perfection here by Streep, says, “I will step outside the church!!!” An awesome moment.
