Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Mr. Moretti finds broad comedy in the antics of some clerics, who can seem as sweet as children, but in Melville there is pathos and there is tragedy, and not his alone.
Fresh: A gentle fable whose humanist heart beats in Michel Piccoli's nuanced performance.
Fresh: Despite moments that strain awfully hard to remind us that the church and its new leader are in crisis, it's basically habemus comoedia. We have a comedy.
Rotten: Piccoli gives the film a depth it perhaps doesn't deserve.
