Six years after Pope Benedict XVI resigned in February 2013, the movie ‘The Two Popes’ is an interesting fictional account of a meeting between Pope Benedict XVI ( Anthony Hopkins) and Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce).

The Critics Consensus on Rotten Tomatoes reads: Led by outstanding performances from its well-matched leads, The Two Popes draws absorbing drama from a pivotal moment in modern organized religion. Writing in the magazine of American Jesuits, John Anderson, a television critic for The Wall Street Journal and a contributor to The New York Times, comments that the movie is a tour-de-force that takes the Catholic Church seriously. Stefano Rebeggiani, an assistant professor of Classics at the University of Southern California, writes in Angelus News that alas, “The Two Popes” delivers a message that seldom rises above the banal and shallow, and it gravely misrepresents both of these protagonists of the most momentous turn of events in the Church’s recent history. The talent of the actors and the visual imagery make this an enjoyable movie experience that raises questions about the Church and its difficulties in our present time, and the humanity of the people called to sit in the chair of St. Peter. (This movie is now available on Netflix)
