Reviews:

This is quite a clever piece of work. Both performances demonstrate a complex, sometimes conflicted, humanity in a touching and thought-provoking way. Hopkins, as the scholarly Benedict XVI coming to realise that he no longer feels capable – for various reasons – to remain Pontiff and Pryce as Cardinal Bergoglio with whom he has little in common, and who has come to Rome to seek his permission to retire. The story focuses more on the trials and tribulations of Bergoglio as he rises to prominence in the Jesuit order and navigates the political turmoil of Argentina in the 70s and 80s where he develops a much less “conservative” approach to the issues facing the Catholic Church than his Pope. By the conclusion, however, both men appear reconciled to the honesty and integrity of the other. The extent to which the detail is true is anyone’s guess – but by using humour, sport and even ABBA, this proves to be an intimate observational film that is certainly one of Netflix’ better commissions.

Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce deliver two award-worthy performances, elevating a surprisingly humorous story about religion. Not a fan of the editing and the film goes on for a bit too long.

Rating: B

Four artists at the peak of their power.
Much has been made of the brilliance of the two title performers, and deservedly so. Both Hopkins and Pryce are absolutely convincing as German and Argentinean pontiffs who converse in English (conveniently for viewers) as their common language. Each actor is so fresh and alive within the personality of his “character” that I was easily persuaded they may be truer to the souls of these men than the living originals. Not enough credit has been paid to Anthony McCarten, the writer of this complex, layered conversation. It is the kind of dialogue great men wish they had spoken. What courage and skill it takes to undertake such a verbal tour de force. (Imagine if world leaders couldn’t hire speech writers. Could Shakespeare’s kings and queens really speak as well as he wrote for them?) McCarten has written the scripts for three Oscar-winning actors; isn’t it time he was recognized? And Fernando Meirelles is the masterful director who brought all the elements together. This is a renaissance man, adept in many fields, from architecture to cinema–and organic farming as well. He has been nominated for one directing Oscar (for “City of God”), and here he shows his ability to maintain both visual interest and intellectual fascination through two hours of what amounts to an intense, extended talk. That the movie never felt “talky” is a tribute to all four great artists.

Beautifully crafted
2 enormous actors and 1 giant director. One beautifully crafted and played masterpiece. And forget about being christian or any religious beliefs. This is purely art demonstrating the relationship between us. People. Humans. Very different but at the end all the same.

A must see.
