The TVI Take
Fernando Meirelles's 2019 film anchored by Anthony Hopkins as Pope Benedict XVI and Jonathan Pryce (Oscar-nominated) as Cardinal Bergoglio (eventually Pope Francis). The structural commitment to letting the two-character papal-philosophical-conversation register be the actual subject, at register prestige biographical drama rarely sustains, is canonical Anthony McCarten screenplay-adaptation work.
