iAfrica.com Nils van der Linden Shanley succeeds in creating a sense of doubt that lingers even after the unintentionally less-than-shocking denouement. | 13 | |
The Citizen Hlengiwe Mnguni Awards season hasn't been particularly kind to the film so far, but this should not justify any doubt about the genius and beauty of the whole production. | 16 | |
24.com Finn Gregory It's not a conventional Hollywood-type film, so don't go into it expecting a neat plot. To experience some formidable acting and writing, however, it's hard to top. | 15 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert ''Doubt'' has exact and merciless writing, powerful performances and timeless relevance. It causes us to start thinking with the first shot, and we never stop. Think how rare that is in a film. | 20 | |

ReelViews James Berardinelli Doubt is an intellectually and emotionally exhausting and engrossing experience. It is drama of the highest caliber, shaped by words and characters and directed with a simplicity that stands in stark contrast to the complexity of the people and issues on screen. | 20 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs While there's little question that most critics and/or average viewers will likely accept what's offered without question (even if it makes them determine the final answer to what's presented), I just wish there were a little more nagging doubt at play in ''Doubt.'' | 13 | |
