The Two Popes

2019 Directed by Fernando Meirelles

Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict. Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church.

    No me esperaba gran cosa y la peli me encantó.
    Eso sí, es lenta de cojones así que es para verla solo ni para ponertela con amigos.
    Tanto Jonathan Pryce como Anthony Hopkins 10/10 los dos, eso sí, yo la vi en versión original porque mejora muchísimo la peli.

    The dialogue between Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins provided some serious heavyweight acting (although their accents were a little distracting). It felt like there was definitely a narrative to paint Pope Francis as the protagonist - which he might be - but a more nuanced philosophical balance between the two main characters would have provided a more interesting cinematic narrative.

    Yeah I really loved this. There's a lot to love here.

    Compelling performances, wonderful cinematography, solid editing and great music. This is another entry in the "oh yeah this is a solid movie" list.

    I don't have a ton to say cause I watched it at 1am and it's currently 10am and I can't be bothered to calibrate my brain to review movies.

    8/10.

    Solid.

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Yet another attempt by the media to falsely depict pope Francis as more “progressive” than he actually is. Francis can’t and won’t change doctrine. As a catholic, I find it comical that they would even attempt to write a confession scene. No one would ever disclose what happened in this entirely hypothetical confession. It is an entirely presumptuous scene. It bothers me that the entire meeting of Francis and Benedict was made up. Bergoglio never asked Ratzinger to retire early. RATZINGER WAS NOT A NAZI! He was required to join the hitler youth and actually worked against fascism with Wojtyla (JP2). 
    Hopefully, no one watches this film and takes it to be accurate. 
    All non story aspects of this film are extremely impressive. The fact they didn’t film anything at the Vatican. The makeup. 
    Lastly, they should have gotten an Argentine to play an Argentine.
