Padre Pio

The saint appears in 10 min. out of 100. It is ideologically to the left. The name is clickbait.

I solely watched this film because it apparently was an eye-opener for LaBeouf making him convert to Catholicism and it became clear pretty fast that he probably was playing in a movie of his own. What we got instead is a bleak, dark, depressing and, even more so, boring thesis about socialism and communism with some smidges of LaBeouf sprinkled through it. I'm watching for Padre Pio, not some class struggle between dirty peasants with broken accents and the elite and their cronies with broken accents. The interesting parts with LaBeouf are short and almost meaningless. There probably is some correlation between these segments and the rest of this snoozefest but a little before halfway I already had no further interest in the movie. Let alone trying to figure out what Ferrera was trying to say.
