Anmelderros til Anthony Hopkins
" Anthony Hopkins har en række store roller i sit bagkatalog og nu kan han skrive endnu en på listen. Rollen som Pave Benedict XVI har nemlig rystet en del ros af sig til den erfarne skuespiller. I Politiken skriver Kim Skotte bl.a. ”Jeg troede, Anthony Hopkins havde nået et punkt i karrieren, hvor den 81-årige skuespiller mest påtog sig roller for at holde sig selv og sin tegnebog i form. Men den opfattelse må jeg revidere, efter at have set ham som pave i Fernando Meirelles’ ’The Two Popes’”, mens NY Times’ anmelder pointerer, at: ”Du kan sandsynligvis bedst lide Francis (…) men Benedict er ham, som du husker.” "

Drama i den katolske kirke
" Hvordan får man en samtale mellem to ældre mænd til at blive fantastisk filmkunst? Man starter med instruktøren bag ’City of God’ og ’The Constant Gardener’, så tager man manuskriptforfatteren bag ’The Theory of Everything’ og ’Bohemian Rhapsody’ og til sidst tilsætter man to fænomenale skuespillere som f.eks. Anthony Hopkins og Jonathan Pryce. Det bliver til det biografiske drama ’The Two Popes’, der handler om omstændighederne bag udnævnelsen af først Pave Benedict XVI og derefter Pave Francis. Dialogen mellem de to hovedpersoner er medrivende og sjov, og instruktør Fernando Meirelles formår at skabe spænding i interaktionerne mellem sine karakterer så de bliver til hele mennesker i kød og blod.

Praise for Anthony Hopkins
" Anthony Hopkins has had an array of great roles throughout his career and now he can add another one to the list. The role as Pope Benedict XVI has earned the experienced actor a great deal of praise. In Politiken Kim Skotte writes: “I thought Anthony Hopkins had reached a point in his career, where the 81-year old actor mostly took on roles to keep himself and his wallet in shape. But I have to change that assumption after having seen him as pope in Fernando Meirelles’ ‘The Two Popes’”, while NY Times writes that “You may like Francis better (…) but Benedict is the one who stays with you”.

Drama in the Catholic Church
" How do you get a conversation between to older men to become amazing cinematic art? You start out with the director behind ‘City of God’ and ‘The Constant Gardener’, then you take the scriptwriter behind ’The Theory of Everything’ and ’Bohemian Rhapsody’ and in the end you add two phenomenal actors such as Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce. This will become the biographical drama ‘The Two Popes’, with is about the appointment of first Pope Benedict XVI and then Pave Francis. The dialog between the two main characters is engrossing and funny, and director Fernando Meirelles truly manages to create suspense in the interactions between hos characters, so they become real humans of flesh and blood.
