My wife and I watched Doubt on Monday night. She went to Catholic school here in Baltimore about the same time the movie depicts. She said it was exactly the way the movie shows it to be. To make it even worse, the nuns usually picked on the smallest girls and would beat the hell out of them. Maryland has a large population of Catholics and there are schools everywhere, and I've heard that same story from many people who went through that. Today Catholic schools are just as popular because it's a way for people to keep their kids out of public school. I gave Doubt 8 stars out of 10.
