Pope John Paul II
Watching this film has renewed in me a sense of profound gratitude to God for having given the Church and the world a Pope of such an exalted human and spiritual nature. --Pope Benedict XVI"Writer-director John Kent Harrison wisely finds a narrative focus... as the pope stares down the unraveling Soviets hoping to help free his native Poland. More than anything, Voight's performance... taps into John Paul's emotional life... it's a remarkable performance." --Variety"Succeeds brilliantly... it does reveal why most of those who criticized [Pope John Paul II] also loved him." --Pittsburg Post-Gazette
