It's Philip Seymour Hoffman versus Meryl Streep in a battle of acting powerhouses. He's a priest acting a little too friendly towards one of his students, she's a nun who accuses him of impropriety. Unfortunately, she doesn't have any proof other than her suspicious nature. It all unfolds rather predictably and its stage origin is obvious as it lurches from one small set to another, but watching those two have at it is never boring.
