I love the handling of the idea of doubt in the film, because that is its central focus. Whether or not Father Flynn is guilty is immaterial, and to have given even the slightest evidence one way or the other would have completely ruined the film. Thoughts? .
Thats actually a really good point...hadn't even thought of it like that.

I think this is a film that'll need a few more viewings...so, so many layers.
