Overall this film is a compelling look at the power of suspicion and how it can color one's interpretation of events and appearances.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman is excellent as the priest in question. Streep's and Adam's portrayals of catholic nun's feel a bit like caricatures at times but overall are sufficiently believable.
The power of this film is the crevice it places the viewer in between actual proof and mere probability while never resolving all reasonable doubt. Situations can be more complicated than meets the eye when one begins to scratch below the surface. Individuals are more than what isolated deeds may say about them.
Personally I enjoy movies that leave you in a place of uncertainty and wonder .
