This documentary traces the life of this charismatic Polish Pope from his early life to the later years of his Papacy. It's not only fascinating but so incredibly inspiring. Karol Wotyla was an intellectual with a common touch and though no one could have predicted his rise to head of the Catholic church, in retrospect it doesn't seen that surprising. This movie shows with documentary footage, interviews with friends and associates, and even the Pope's own words, how life shaped him into the most popular Pope of modern times. I can't recommend this film strongly enough and my only complaint is that I would have liked it to be longer.

How many movies have I seen in which the relationship between a grown man and his parents is the main focus? Probably none before this one. For that alone I give this movie high marks.

The plot is a little far-fetched but I have to tell you the cast, with its superior acting, pulls it off. Dennis Quaid is entirely believable as a veteran fireman and Jim Caviezel, as his policeman son, doesn't seem capable of making a wrong move . The two men have real chemistry. Andre Brauger is excellent in his supporting role. The women in the film aren't as developed but they're real enough that you care about them.

I highly recommend Frequency. I give it 8 on 10.
