The Two Popes (2019)
4/10
A totally biased and superficial panygérique
23 December 2020
Bergioglio, presented as a holy man who has overcome his shadows with humility; the remaining 20% shows Benedict XVI caricatured as a cold and insensitive intellectual, with the sole purpose of further enhancing the aura of the former. Even an atheist can sense this after a few minutes. Moreover, we are far from any theological debate. No substantive subject is seriously discussed except in brief, caricatural flashes.The intellectual approach of the film is more or less limited to this: charisma is better than truth. Have you read this review? You have learned in ten lines everything that this film as thick as a sheet of cigarette paper could teach you. Do yourself a favour: save two hours of your precious life and take a good book instead.
