Reviews
|
San Francisco Chronicle -
The director is clearly an admirer of Francis (both the saint and the pope), and was able to conduct extensive and exclusive interviews with the pontiff.
|
|
TheWrap -
Pope Francis is a healer, not a proselytizer. And Wenders knows enough to stand back and let him say his piece and make his peace.
|
|
The Seattle Times -
The picture is a no warts-and-all look at Francis’ papacy, but rather emphasizes his humanity and humility. Those personal qualities and his words are sources of hope In this politically fraught and fevered age.
|
|
IndieWire -
The film shows a refreshing interest in his current existence, rather than becoming a by-the-book retread of his pre-pope life.
|
|
Movie Nation -
You don’t feel Francis is challenged on anything here, and as lightly charming and impressive as he and this almost-all-access documentary is, one can only imagine what the great doc-makers — Errol Morris or Werner Herzog or Barbara Koppel — could have done with this.
