    Easter surprise
    This movie has been on our "to watch" list since we read writer Pauyl Donovan's self-review of his own film on Amazon Prime last year. His "review" was actually a fascinating summary of his film's post-production travails.

    We watched it Easter Sunday, and yet we're still discussing aspects late Monday evening. Outstanding piiierformances and writing in this tense period drama. Even though the bulk of the movie consists mostly of dialogue amongst the cardinals, somehow, the writers managed to convey the impossible mix of religion and politics, man and god, power and money that influences these men as they choose their next Pope.

    It's a sparse production that might not appeal to all, but we found it to be an enjoyable drama with the added benefit of a well-researched historical anchor. A sincere thank-you to Paul Donovan for making this jewel available by uploading it to Amazon Direct for all of us to see, despite the film's distribution challenges.
