The audience is well-versed in LaBeouf’s problematic past behavior. The actor has a number of abuse allegations, misdemeanor charges, and complaints of aggressive behavior with cast mates.
Gravitas Ventures’ Senior Director of Theatrical Distribution, Cameron Moore said of the movie, “Padre Pio will become a much discussed religious biopic for the unforeseeable future. Shia LaBeouf gives a show-stopping performance with superb direction from acclaimed director Abel Ferrara. We are excited to bring the film to viewers all across North America.” As LaBeouf gets back to the big screen after 2020's Pieces of a Woman how the audience responds to the movie is yet to be seen.
