Coming from acclaimed director Wim Wenders, I was hoping to watch something beyond a 90-minute sermon by the Pope. What I almost received was ... a 90-minute sermon by the Pope. Yes, the documentary tells us about his Argentinian roots, and interjects with humanizing moments of interactions with regular people and his thoughts on a gamut of subjects from the definition of evil to the Church pedophilia crisis, but we also have numerous exclusive scenes with the Pope speaking directly into the camera, preaching to us. At the end we never know: why is this Pope so outspoken, and different?
