Have any of you seen Doubt?

I went and saw Doubt last night, and it’s definitely the kind of movie you need to talk about afterwards. No one I know has seen it, so you guys are going to have to talk to me about it!
I absolutely loved it. Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman give unbelievably good performances. Meryl Streep is in a league of her own. She is amazing!
I was really worried that this movie would be too depressing. Considering the subject matter (priest vs. alter boy) it could have been hard to watch. But it really wasn’t. It was so good…and I have so many questions! If you’ve seen it, please join me after the jump – I have a question for you!

Did he do it!? What do you think? I think he did do it…that was my first impression. Especially since at the end, the blond boy smiled when the Father was saying his goodbyes.
But I’ve been reading online – and there have been some very good theories about him not doing it. People have said that it is comparable to a police interrogation – and maybe the confession was under duress? Since the nun lied about his previous church, maybe he was confused – and thought he had done something wrong?
Maybe the Father knew that the nun wasn’t going to give up no matter what?
I honestly don’t know what I think anymore. Did he do it? What do you think!?
