Doubt (2008)

At a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, a strict principal becomes convinced that a popular priest has behaved improperly with a student, and she has no proof. John Patrick Shanley adapted his own play, and Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis all earned Oscar nominations. The film is built to split a room on how much certainty you need before acting on a suspicion, and whether doubt is a virtue or an excuse. Viola Davis's single scene, as the boy's mother, is the one most groups end up arguing about.
