In the world of God, suspicion arrives and stays till it ends up leaving events and a life of all those involved very much changed. It's a world where self-belief strikes reality, where perception raises questions, where morality is challenged.
By setting up a story amongst the nuns and a father, Shanley opens the door into the a life less extraordinary being loved by the people of the church. They are nice people, with strong conviction and yet...some people break, some don't and some can't help being lost in the middle.
Streep is as good as ever and Seymour Hoffman shines again highlighting the fact that he is as good as anyone in the game. A gripping drama with superb performances.
