Great movie— thought I’d be bored but it does a great job at keeping you entertained and tells an interesting story
Jordan lovedThe Two PopesThe Two Popes is a thoughtful and well-crafted film. The direction, flashbacks, music, and dialogue work together with strong performances from both leads. The sets feel authentic, drawing you into each scene. What stands out most is the story itself, showing Bergoglio as a complex and deeply human…
Cande Giusta lovedThe Two PopesThe way it was made, the flashbacks, the music, the dialogues, the actors and there acting, the sets, and most important the history that is telling, make an excellent film. It just shows what an incredible person Bergoglio was, at the end of the day, he was still a human being.

Ein fantastischer Film in mehreren Belangen. Die Schnitte, die Musik, die Story. Was dem Film aber besonders Größe verleiht sind die Dialoge und die schauspielerische Leistung von Jonathan Pryce und Anthony Hopkins. Auch ohne gläubig zu sein, kann man diesen Film sehr genießen.
Sixten Hultqvist lovedThe Two PopesEn av mina favoritfilmer. Även om man inte är kristen finns det enormt mycket att uppskatta i denna film. Jag älskar att hela filmen iprincip bara är två gamla män som pratar om deras upplevelser och misstag. Otrolig regi, musik, manus och inte minst skådespelarna. 4.5/5 ⭐️
The Absolute Cinephile lovedThe Two Popes2 men, different in backgrounds, different in ideas, united by faith. The story is very compelling, thought it would be more boring than what I expected. The references to the Beatles and ABBA was a very unique and humanising. At the end of the day, they are still human.

sam lovedThe Two Popesthis isn’t a genre i usually watch but i really did love how they portrayed these popes. the acting was great and the flashbacks really were great to understand why these men wanted to go higher up in their vocation and give themselves more and more to God.
Luuk lovedThe Two PopesEcht een hele goede film waar je een mooi verhaal krijgt over een paus die stopt met werken en een andere paus die een nieuwe draai geeft aan de kerk wat past bij de huidige maatschappij
Tejasva Agarwal likedThe Two PopesIt starts off strong, but later it loses the original idea. I loved the conservationist vs the reformist debate on teaching of God and hopes it would have lasted longer.

The Two Popes might promulgate an optimistic portrait of the Catholic Church and its leaders. But in these sweetly sincere scenes, you forget Benedict and Bergoglio are pontiff and pontiff-to-be. And the moment of respite from the world’s arguments and divisions feels like a benediction.

The Two Popes is the kind of well-made but flawed release you can wait to catch on home video.
