In its hectic, scattershot way, Padre Pio feels very much of the desperate present day.

Offering visceral immediacy over meticulous construction, Padre Pio bristles with arresting images.

The sins and injustices of the outside world find terrible expression in St Pio of Pietrelcina’s body and imperfect expression in Ferrara’s 22nd feature.

Padre Pio is a therapy session for star Shia LaBeouf, intercut with a story of labor strife in a traumatized Italian village. If that sounds weird, it is, but never in a way that's consistently interesting.

Padre Pio’s two halves stubbornly, constantly butt heads with each other, stories in catastrophic disharmony.

LaBeouf essays a rather, let’s say, contemporary Pio. And completely sinks the picture.

Padre Pio places great emphasis on the performances and strives to provide a compelling narrative experience. However, I find it difficult to say that it has successfully achieved that goal. Nevertheless, the film may appeal to both religious and non-religious audiences. Those familiar with Shia LaBeouf's work know that he takes himself very seriously, perhaps even excessively so, and while this quality may not appeal to everyone, his work offers a sense of complexity and experience that acts as a galvanizing force to see this film through to the end. In conclusion, Padre Pio is a well-made film, but it falls short of being captivating. While it depicts a captivating chronicle, it lacks emotional depth and fails to provoke meaningful reflection after its completion that might give way to creating a lasting impression. However, the credentials of its director and lead actor are more than enough incentive for non-conventional filmgoers to take an interest in it.

Story is hard to follow as they have two very separate and contradictory plots going at once. The story also made St Padre Pio look like nothing but a schizophrenic And did nothing but spread false propaganda about post WW1 Italy.
