The Pope's Exorcist (2023)

Russell Crowe plays Father Gabriel Amorth, a real-life priest who claimed to have done thousands of exorcisms. I'm not sure why -- out of the multitudes of source cases -- we're focused on such a tame one. The possessed kid is boring as hell. He just sits in bed, clutching his bedspread while he lets a comic working blue use him like a ventriloquist's dummy.

The only reason I'm not giving this an "F" is because I'm kind of here for Crowe's quippy, casual, fuck it performance.
