It's not very cinematic, and some have mentioned that it is too much like a theatrical play and beat it down a bit over that. The argument may be justified, but it didn't bother me at all.
One point though: it's easy to make a traditionalist look bad. The movie went far with that, unfairly.
Otherwise, it's pretty good.

I've read the play, along with the author's note on the play- he didn't say the Doubt came from an analogy on faith specifically, but he said he had the idea that the concept of Doubt as an emotion was a very strong one. He said it's easy to have a conviction, settle it in your mind and go forward. But to have doubt causes introspection and thought and most people aren't comfortable with that emotion.
