No Doubt About It. A Great Film ****, 8 April 2009
Father Flynn, in a sermon, states that doubt creates a bond. How right he is.
This is a knockout film, one for the ages as Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams turn in monumental performances. Viola Davis, in a one scene stealer, is also quite effective here.
What really went on in Father Flynn's office? That remains to be seen.
Streep, who was never better, and who has the ability to assume those great accents, takes on an authentic N.Y. one. In many scenes she sounds like the late Connie Gilchrist, a wonderful character supporting actress of the 1930s and 1940s.
Streep pulls absolutely no punches as the stern, old-fashioned parochial principal of the 1950s. Bitter by the fact that she lost her husband in World War 11 and afraid to accept a changing American culture, she hides behind all this and is absolutely a brutal principal and person to deal with. She is the very old-fashioned principal who many a teacher suffered under.
She goes after Father Flynn after a student allegedly drinks wine from a holy ceremony. Hoffman was made for the role of Father Flynn in the same priestly way as Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald earned their angelic wings in "Going My Way." He will certainly come into conflict with Sister Aloysius (Streep) as he wants change and understanding. Amy Adams stars as the shy, nerd-like nun who catches Father Flynn in a questionable scene and immediately reports back to Sister Aloysius.
There are flaming scenes here between Sister and the boy's mother. The latter is played by Viola Davis, who seems to be the prototype for blacks in society circa 1964 when the film takes place. She doesn't want to rock the boat, she fears her husband and her son will be graduating in June.
This is definitely a contemporary film as it alludes to priest misconduct in recent and past years.
