Review of The Two Popes (2019)
Seen in 2024.
The biography of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, focusing on events leading up to his being selected Pope in 2013.
Pleasant propaganda for the Catholic Church. The most extraordinary thing about the narrative is not that it includes an admission to the organization’s child abuse and cooperation with fascism, but that this admission is carefully softened by star power and humorous conversation in glamorous environments.
