“Voight is quite extraordinary. Besides doing a
spot-on impersonation of Pope John Paul’s public
persona, he ages most convincingly... It’s a heart
wrenching portrayal.”
— Harry Forbes, Catholic News Service
“Although shot on a lavish scale in Italy, Poland
and elsewhere, ‘Pope John Paul II’ succeeds on intimate terms... and Elwes and Voight are largely
responsible. The movie is honestly and actually
about something... It’s the ability to instill
joy in human hearts, and the film not
only celebrates it but, in its finest
moments, even possesses it.”
— The Washington Post
“More than anything, Voight’s
performance... taps into
John Paul’s emotional
life... it’s a remarkable
performance.”
— Variety
“Watching this film has renewed in me a sense
of profound gratitude to God for having given
the Church and the world a Pope of such an
exalted human and spiritual nature.”
— Pope Benedict XVI
