Emotional and redemptive

The film has a bit of a slow start but stick with it, it is worth it in the end. The casting is great! What an amazing story of these two men's lives and such a powerful medium in film to tell the story to millions of other humans on this journey. It is the kind of film that will linger after you've watched it because the characters touch you so deeply. I hope Poland is going to be making more films of this caliber. The music is so good that I hit Shazam several times, but they must not have much of a Polish database because it couldn't find several of the pieces. So glad that Netflix is offering more international television and film.

Immensely Beautiful and Sad in equal measure

This is probably a very difficult film for most to watch. And that is completely understandable and OK. But if you can persevere, this film will reward you with how true kindness, love and selflessness really is. It shows us that all of us have the capacity to give of ourselves to othes at some point in our lives, no matter how small in measure. And that love and kindness no matter how small we might think it might be to us, can have an enormous effect on those who receive it.This was a giant of a man, who happened to be a priest, who inspired and uplifted all those who knew him. And many who didn't.In a world that is dark and much divided in so many ways, this film gives us the hope and chink of light that each of us has the ability to make a difference. And that we should never forget this.Thank You sincerely to all involved in the making of this heart-warming and deeply powerful film.

Well worth the journey.

A lovely movie, that doesn't shirk from the reality of dying; and it's all the stronger for that. For me, it's about two journeys of the human spirit, both physical and beyond. And although the priest is Roman Catholic, it's a story that includes - and goes beyond that. Muslim, Jew, and so it goes, goodness exists in all of us. The acting was magnificent, and the two leads played off each other with a professional ease that was a joy to behold. No spoilers. Just watch it and take from it what you will. This isn't a 'message' movie, just a journey that's well worth partaking in, and to cast and crew: well done.
