Really liked this! Heartfelt with way more comedy than I expected. Also it took volleyballs to end it that way.
My only question is how did the pope have money when he fled?

This movie would have been so much better if it had more conversations between the psychologist and Pope compared to him looking confused around Rome. This movie has some great irony and a lot of depth to it, but I don’t think it was able to express it at his best. Maybe the scene when the cardinal tell Moretti that he basically cannot talk about anything happened in real life, and that’s why we got su little talking. But, for what a great idea this is and for what a director Moretti is considered, as his first film I’ve watched I can say that he only exceeded in filmography more than writing. Which really left me surprised
