There Be Dragons

"As played by [Charlie] Cox, Escriva is earnest, heartfelt and full of tolerance, driven by his message of love and forgiveness for all, regardless of where their politics lie." - Chris Foran, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

In reality, Josemaria Escriva's lifelong work with Opus Dei is quite controversial and has strong detractors as well as supporters.

I'm sure the priest was more multi-dimensional than the consistently tolerant, all-knowing sage that the film portrays.
Monolo's character had more character, IMO. Tortured and over-dramatized, but more character.
