Here's what you'll gather: It's based on a play of the same name, and it's about that most riveting of topics: a Catholic school. Not just any Catholic school, though. This one has the honor of harboring a rigid, cold, mean, scary nun played by Streep. And when she suspects the parish priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) of sexually abusing a young boy from the school, it seems she'll stop at nothing to prove it -- even when everyone, including the child and his mother, is telling her she's wrong. It looks intense and the dialogue's a little on-the-nose, but Streep's performance appears to be on par with some of her best, so I'd expect an Oscar nomination for that, at least.
