- QUICK TAKE:
- Drama: Facing changes and challenges in the Catholic church, both a cardinal and the pope mull their futures.
- PLOT:
It's 2005 and with Pope John Paul II having died, it's up to the papal conclave to elect the next pope, with the two leading candidates being Cardinal Ratzinger (ANTHONY HOPKINS) from Germany who believes only in tradition and Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio (JONATHAN PRYCE) from Argentina who wants progressive changes in the church. Ratzinger ends up winning and becomes Pope Benedict.
Seven years later, the church is embroiled in controversy after controversy, and Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio has decided it's time for him to retire. Coincidentally, Pope Benedict has called him to the Vatican to discuss something of importance, but the two end up clashing over their differing beliefs in the direction the church is and should be headed. All of which leads to the Pope refusing Bergoglio's resignation, thinking it would be yet another stain on the church.
As the two men continue to meet and learn they have some common ground, we also learn about Bergoglio's earlier years as a priest (JUAN MINUJIN) who found himself mired in his own controversy.
- WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
- Older teens might be interested, but that's probably it.
- WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
- For thematic content and some disturbing violent images.
