Review by Morning.star
I liked the music and some of the camera work ... BUT ... the film left me wondering if the writer/director intended to create confusion by choosing to name the lead role Pope Pius XIII because there is an American Pius XIII. He hasn't sat in the Vatican though, and is known as a 21st century anti-pope (which is someone who self-appoints as Pope or historically, the leader of a dissenting Church faction who has some limited support as Pope). As far as the storyline is concerned, all told I failed to get the point and found the ending just plain weak.
