Vows

Doubt

Crit

Interesting that the did-he-or-didn't-he question is almost completely unimportant to us; what matters is the mechanics of doubt and faith and certainty. Of course, for those of us whose parents entrusted us to the care of warped, repressed dictators, there's interest too in seeing how they got that way, and I think I understand a little of the mechanics of that as well. Streep and Hoffman chew their scenery admirably, Viola Davis steals her one scene, and Amy Adams seems a bit at sea (more than her character is supposed to, i.e.). And Shanley, what's the damn deal with those shots where the camera is tilted 30 degrees?
