The Hollywood Reporter has just released an early release on the movie doubt. Overall it loved the film, but shockingly its one criticism: Meryl Streep?! Here is an excerpt:
"The considerable integrity and strength of John Patrick Shanley’s play prevail despite a questionable central performance in “Doubt.” Stepping back behind the camera for the first time since his misguided “Joe Versus the Volcano” in 1990, Shanley capably retains the power of his study of unsubstantiated moral convictions gone tragically awry, and the extensive opening up of his four-character, 90-minute 2005 Pulitzer and Tony Award winner adds in social context what it loses in sharply focused intensity. Miramax has plenty here to build this intelligent, absorbing drama into a strong B.O. performer with a discerning public looking for movies that are actually about something. Besides the central performance by Meryl Streep (which is shaky at best) the film and its cast is fantastic."
WOAH?! Shocking.
I .. will judge for myself.
I still say shes a huge best actress contender this year.
