Synopsis

"The Two Popes" is an intimate story of one of the most dramatic transitions of power in the last 2,000 years. Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce) requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict (Anthony Hopkins).

Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church.

Behind Vatican walls, a struggle commences between both tradition and progress, guilt and forgiveness, as these two very different men confront their pasts in order to find common ground and forge a future for a billion followers around the world.

Inspired by true events.

Matthew Jones
1/10

Additionally, I felt that the score of The Two Popes was repetitive and uninspired. The same musical motifs seemed to be used repeatedly throughout the film, making it difficult to distinguish between key moments and diluting the impact of important scenes. This lack of musical variety detracted from the overall viewing experience and failed to enhance the narrative as effectively as it could have.
