Storyline
In 1964 at a Catholic church in The Bronx, New York, Father Brendan Flynn gives a sermon on the nature of doubt, noting that it, like faith, can be a unifying force. Sister Aloysius, the strict principal of the church’s parish school, becomes concerned when she sees a boy pull away from Flynn in the school courtyard.

“The book is so rich. There are so many fantastic details, but in order to preserve and have the time to bring that to the screen, we had to make important choices.”
