The two popes, essentially a film about two old dudes walking around and talking for 2 hours; yet somehow it was such a fascinating conversation about the state of world religions and faith that it actually made for such an interesting watch. The success of the film lied on the two central performances, Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, two legendary actors that were perfectly casted in their respective roles. Anthony Hopkins delivers the performance of an old and weathered pope and his beliefs of a more conservative church; whereas Jonathan Pryce wonderfully depicts his character's warmth and ability to be down to earth and touch the hearts of his believers.
