Our take
Comedy and dual crime plots wrap around Dante's Divine Comedy manuscript in this 2026 film. A Vatican priest brings writer Nick Tosches in to authenticate the find while a theft scheme runs next to Dante's own fight to write his masterpiece. Action violence, gambling talk, and scary stretches can shake younger teens. ClearAge puts it around 16 for mature older teens and adults.
