[An] admirable and deeply admiring tribute to the 266th supreme pontiff....[Wenders] films the pope in close-up, allowing the viewer to bask at length in the beatific warmth of his smile and his infectious, magnetic way with language.

Rating: C -- How well can you really know a Pope, anyway? In "A Man of His Word," the answer is elusive. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- His sincerity offers an alluring catharsis, a hope-by-proxy. We don't have to believe, just as long as we can believe that he believes. Full Review

It slyly dispenses with that old canard that we must know the artist intimately to feel moved, humbled and astonished by his art. Full Review
Los Angeles Times

Rating: 2/5 -- It's a maddening film because, ultimately, it seems sycophantic to, and unchallenging of, the papal institution and Catholicism themselves. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Intended by Wenders to be a personal journey with the Pope, this documentary is more about what the man says that it is about who he is. Full Review

Rating: 4/10 -- Not only is there not enough storytelling in A Man of His Word, but the film is also quick to shy away from controversy. Full Review

Product Description:

Pope Francis, who became the the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church in 2013, communicates his vision for his faith through interviews as well as footage of him giving speeches and living out the values he espouses. Pope Francis directly answers questions about faith from people of all ages and circumstances, including children, refugees and prison inmates. This documentary also compares Pope Francis with his namesake, Saint Francis of Assisi, who was concerned with the poor and marginalized and protecting the environment. Written and directed by Wim Wenders Co-produced by the Vatican.
