Two Popes, The

A revealing, engaging, factually inspired, critically acclaimed, award-nominated, superbly acted, well-written, 126-minute biographical Netflix film told through flashbacks and adapted from Anthony McCarten's 2017 play that gives a speculative, behind-the-scenes look at the often times heated interaction not only between two flawed human beings but two of the most important religious figures, German Pope Benedict XVI (Anthony Hopkins) and liberal Argentinean Cardinal Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergiglio (Jonathan Pryce), in recent history and a look at one of the most significant transitions that the Catholic Church has seen in the last two millennium when the conservative pontiff shockingly resigned his papacy due to the pedophilia and corruption scandals and the former guilt-ridden Jesuit priest became Pope Francis when he was voted the Catholic Vatican leader in the 2013 conclave in Rome.
