So did he do it?

Obviously the point is ambiguity, it's the title of the movie for frick's sake. Just wondering if you had a personal hunch opinion

I don't think he did and I think that'd be a more poignant of the movie. No one can fault the nun for trying to protect her flock but if she was wrong, it raises all sorts of questions about the grey areas of doing good.

It was, although I didn't like the very end when she broke down and said "I have so much doubt." Came off as too theatrical, and I mean that in the literal sense (yes I realize it was a play first).

Agreed. It didn't, in screenwriting terms, "work." Very good for a stage production, but didn't translate to film well

I think you're supposed to struggle with whether he did it. That's part of it. If not, it fails as a movie
