Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSteven Spielberg was intending to direct a version of this story around 2016. He even was looking at casting the young boy's role though open auditions from Jewish Schools in Europe and America. Although he had cast Mark Rylance as Pope Pius IX and Oscar Isaac as the older Edgardo Mortara, Spielberg's inability to find the right child actor led to the project becoming stalled.

Featured review
It's been presented as one of the movie of the year but despite the premises it doesn't fly. The founding idea is good, it's an historical movie about changes, political power and secularism. Cast is great but I couldn't keep away from my nose the scent of Italian bad tv. Despite all to me these are not the major flaws, the main problem is I was not hooked by the subject and therefore this was not interesting to me. Probably 20 years ago this would have been way controversial showing a Pope in crisis of conscience during the making of the Republic of Italy and the atomization of Church. I need to add that it was quite inflated by media as well therefore my expectations were high. It's still a well made movie just not for me. But you should give it a try especially if you are a parent.
