Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Doubt (1 Viewer)

[Mike Frezon]

Isn't it wonderful to have that kind of experience, Neil?

I feel horrible I never reported back here after my wife & I watched this film earlier this year. It is, without a doubt, one of the best films we've seen in a very long time.

The story, writing and performances were so great that it overwhelms the necessity of talking about the technical execution of this disc. An absolute grand slam and now, for me, the bellweather of all other new movies I see.

Looking back at Matt's review, I agree completely that one of the few shortcomings might have been the director's lack of interesting visuals to help frame the story.

I haven't seen it yet, but I was able to get the BD for $13 from intevideo.com and it should be here in a few days.

Absolutely! When the film started, I was still doing some homework on my laptop...it wasn't 10 minutes in that I had to put my work aside and fall in to the movie...

I picked this up on the cheap during the Boxing Day sales. Fantastic performances all around, and although the special features are sparse, you get a sense of how much work the actors put into their characters.

When Stephen bumped this thread I saw this old quote of mine.

I recently watched this disc a second time. Considering that I didn't have to pay as much attention to the plot line the second time through, it gave me more time to take in the camera shots and sets and I had a completely different reaction to them this time around. I was actually amazed that I could have been so blase about them originally. The visuals appeared quite striking when the sharp effect of the narrative was lessened for me. I was completely blown away by the story and dialogue the first time through.

Quite an interesting phenomenon.
