Browser’s Magnificent Seven
Doubt 5.45pm beIN Movies Stars
A THOUGHT-provoking essay about a devout nun who suspects a parish priest of carnal intentions towards an altar boy. Should one act on suspicion alone? Is belief, without hard evidence, ever enough? The validity of faith itself is questioned.
Meryl Streep, probably the finest movie actress of her generation, gives a masterclass as Sister Aloysius, a zealot who rules her Catholic school in the Bronx with a gimlet eye and a Jesuitical moral certainty.
The Sister has doubts about gregarious Father Flynn, alias Philip Seymour Hoffman. Does he have an unhealthy interest in the school’s only black student?
Her confrontations with Flynn are electrifying. Is there ever smoke without fire?
This nun can take action with steely resolve on flimsy evidence. She determines to drive an errant priest out of his church.
In 2008, director John Patrick Shanley adapted his own Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play.
Empire movie magazine said: “Streep is like the earthquake in a disaster movie. Everyone else is just negotiating her aftermath. Part Miss Marple and part wicked witch, Streep is a gothic showpiece with something human between the gusts of piercing anger, wry grace notes written into her pursed lips and arching brow.”
