🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its satire on the clash between earthly fallibility and papal infallibility, relying on situational humor and the protagonist's charming inadequacy.
What lingers after the credits is the gentle absurdity of a holy office filled by a very human soul, a reminder that comedy often resides in the gap between the ideal and the real. — MovieFinder Editorial
