We Have a Pope

About This Movie

So, 'We Have a Pope' is this intriguing blend of comedy and drama that Nanni Moretti manages to balance quite well. The premise alone is fascinating—a newly elected Pope experiencing a panic attack right before addressing the congregation. It dives into the themes of doubt, responsibility, and the absurdity of expectations placed on leaders. The pacing is a bit unconventional, which adds to the overall atmosphere. There’s a unique dynamic between the Pope and the therapist, who’s an atheist, which generates this interesting tension. The performances are quite layered, especially the lead, who brings a lot of humanity to a character that could easily be portrayed as simply saintly. It's a thought-provoking watch, for sure.
