The Two Popes 2019

I honestly didn't know what to expect, other than some vague expectation of quality based on the lead actors.

It's not a plot-heavy movie, it's rather a long conversation between two people of fundamentally different opinions. It touches on some of the controversies around the catholic church, but they really only matter peripherally, as far as they directly impact our two characters.

It still manages to have some powerful conversations about responsibility and guilt and penance.

How much of it and of the facts given are true I really can't tell, but there is a moment of confession where to audio artistically fades to 0, that feels more like a legal choice than an artistic one, and that in turn gives anything else a bit more credibility.
