    • Trivia
      While researching the life and work of Fr. Gabriel Amorth, Russell Crowe discovered that Amorth's personal favorite movie was The Exorcist (1973), so much so, that Amorth became good friends with its director William Friedkin who later directed a documentary of Amorth's work as an exorcist, The Devil and Father Amorth (2017).
    • Goofs
      In the library, both Father Amorth and later the Pope translate the note "Peccata tua inveniente te" as "Our sins will seek us out" but "tua" means "your" and "te" means "you".

    Probably the best possession movie in years
    Is this film perfect, absolutely not. But it is certainly a great watch. I enjoyed Crowe's performance and found the humor he brought to the role spot on. It wasn't over the top, and it felt organic.

    The special effects and CGI for the most part were very good. With only a few moments the broke the suspension of disbelief.

    I enjoyed the depth to the plot and how it approached faith in general. Was nice to see some decent attempts at passing past the usual possession schtick.

    Overall this is a really solid film and I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to any fans of the religious horror/possession genre.
