Pope Francis: A Man of His Word: reviews

What the critics say average 6.5 from 4 outlets

• 7.5 The WrapSteve Pond "Pope Francis is a healer, not a proselytizer. And Wenders knows enough to stand back and let him say his piece and make his peace" Read
• 6.7 IndiewireKate Erbland "The film shows a refreshing interest in his current existence, rather than becoming a by-the-book retread of his pre-pope life" Read
