Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality

This movie will not tell you much about who Carlo is or what he did. I only know that he made a website.

This movie seems like a generic letter of recommendation where the author doesn't know anything specific about the subject person. After watching this documentary, I still don't know much specifics about who he was. I definitely still don't know why he became a saint. Because he was nice??

The preview for this movie was better than the movie itself. It came across as inspirational, but the only people who were inspired were the other people in the film.

Also the editing made me have to look at the wall halfway through. They changed clips every 0.7 seconds for minutes at a time.

I went into watching this movie with high hopes which unfortunately were crushed. I had heard about Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint and was super excited to learn more about him. Ha. This documentary is literally anything but that. You watch 1 hour and 35 minutes of a film that talks about him for maybe 10. The rest is this anti-technology agenda and a pilgrimage these students went on to go see him. I mean sure that's all fine and dandy but I came to learn about Carlo! The very little information they do tell you about him is very fluffy, for instance, "he loved very much Jesus." Like yeah no kidding; he's almost a saint. They proceed to restate the fact he loved Jesus in about 20+ different ways through all these priests and experts speaking about him, saying the same exact thing. You'd honestly learn more just doing a Google search on him.
