Review of The Two Popes (2019) by Leoterra — 29 Dec 2019
The Two Popes is not a movie for anyone, and I am not talking about the religious issue, but the way one evaluates Fernando Meirelles's direction. I personally believe that Meirelles's direction in this movie is totally different from the work done in City of God, where he uses fast, action-packed direction.
In this movie we can see a calm and peaceful direction, which shows Meirelles's great reinvention work, The Two Popes is a film with a calmer, smoother rhythm, an interesting screenplay and a story that, while not sure that The facts cited in the movie really happened, it's exciting and very well told.
Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins are very good, with simple and true acting, the direction is good, as well as the script, is a calm film, but, as said before, the film has some historical incongruities that may affect the audience that followed these two popes up close.
In addition to this problem, you can see in The Two Popes, a decent movie.
