A Speculation On Faith

Don't worry this is not me getting all theological though I can't promise never to bother you with my half-formed views on the mysteries of faith. No, for today I am concerned to review The Two Popes. There are serious critics who are bothered by the entry into film production of the big streaming services. The Two Popes is a Netflix production, a very good one. There is nothing LCD about this, nor does it tip over into morose seriousness. It is a speculation on the meaning of faith, most particularly the meaning of faith to successive popes. It invents a dialogue between Popes Benedict and Francis, the pair played brilliantly by Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce respectively. It is warm, occasionally funny, and adult. Highly recommended. 85/100.
