The Two Popes (out Dec 5) is a part real, part fictional drama about the transition in 2012 from Pope Benedict XVI to Pope Francis. The film touches on interesting subjects (settling differences, forgiveness, progression, cover-ups) but disappointingly, there's no big takeaway from this. Worthy performances from stars Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins. Grade: B+.
