Doubt
Play-based nun fun starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Muriël Strepsil. Notable for triggering the phrase That brought back a few memories (overheard by a listener in Melbourne after a screening of the film).
It isn't about nuns, or priests, or paedophilia - it's about Iraq.
Both Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo felt the film ironically did not have enough doubt as to whether the priest did it. This led to many complaints of spoiling the end.
The French society of people who stand up, applaud and leave when the title of the movie is used in a line of dialogue would have got good value from Doubt, as "doubt" is the last word of the film.
