Reviews


100
San Francisco Chronicle - Walter Addiego
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.
75
TheWrap - Steve Pond
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.
75
The Seattle Times - Soren Andersen
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.
67
IndieWire - Kate Erbland
The film shows a refreshing interest in his current existence, rather than becoming a by-the-book retread of his pre-pope life.
63
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
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.
