    Ótimo filme, mostrando a história de dois personagens importantes no mundo religioso. A história contada no filme é muito boa, mas acho pouco provavel que alguns fatos do filme sejam reais.
  • Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
    Mostly unsurprising but Price and Hopkins make the viewing worthwhile.

    I have no idea how much of this is true, but I completely enjoyed the time spent.
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    Incredible performances: just amazing to watch two masters in action alongside an interesting and believable story.

    Meh. It is a cool idea, especially if it had been real. To know that this is based on bits and pieces of their speeches, etc. and not an actual biographical pic makes it less fun.
  • Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    Two stellar performances by standouts at their craft. Amid all the pomp, all the sterile and the staunch, we gets sly little jokes and asides and more in this charming changing of the Catholic seat of most honor. 3.8 stars

    Touching. Hilarious. Dramatic. Shocking. This film truly is a must see, if not for Pryce and Hopkins then for its honest exploration of Catholicism in our modern society and what makes a person ‘good'.

    Totally brilliant acting by the two Popes (Hopkins and Pryce). An interesting story even if one has little sympathy with the Catholic Church. Some may find it boring (no action), but the dialogue is utterly absorbing. Pope Francis' historical background under the Argentinian junta is also a major feature, adding the dimension of religion/politics. The core of the story is the friendship which develops between the two old men. Religion and faith play a role, but only as part of the mens' story, not in any evangelical way. The public scandals in which the Catholic Church has been embroiled in recent decades are neither ignored, nor emphasized.
