CGiii Comment

It's all about suspicion - with or without foundation.

Shanley manages to manipulate his audience into a bewildering world of colliding sympathies.

And then, there's Viola Davis - in her very brief and Oscar nominated role - she absolutely decimates everything that has gone on before - she has experienced every inequality, every cruelty and still she can turn a blind eye - for her son and only for her son - heartbreaking.

The most important issue that is addressed and never resolved - does an innocent man crumble under accusations or does he fight?

Think: Friedman, Jackson.

A film that makes you think - just remember the subject - what would you do?

When in doubt...accuse!

Mind-blowing stuff.

The(ir) Blurb...

It's 1964, St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A charismatic priest, Father Flynn, is trying to upend the school's strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear-based discipline. The winds of political change are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Miller. But when Sister James, a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequences.
