Saw this with the wife and came away impressed. Its worth the price just for the visuals. Every scene felt like its own painting to be admired and analyzed. The plot is suspenseful, even if you aren't a Catholic and understand the process for choosing the next Pope. I have to imagine traditional Catholics aren't enthused by the ending, but as an ex-Catholic, I felt it raised some interesting questions. Don't want to ruin it. Also, Ralph Fiennes breaks out his Voldemort voice at least once. 4 out of 4 stars.

I saw this was rated PG. How did that work with a movie like this?
