Conclave

A phenomenal film about the true nature of the conclave and the Catholic Church.

My eyes were absolutely glued to the screen during the whole runtime of this film. Whether it’s because of the beautiful cinematography, the superb acting and actors, or the amazingly tense story.

9.3/ I really did love this movie, is it worth a rewatch? Yes. Did I liked the ending? Not really. But each dialogue grabbed my attention, each scene is cinematically pleasing and the sound choices are beautifully done.

7.9 - The ending, which I absolutely cannot spoil, will likely make or break this for a lot of people. Especially with the older crowds & awards voters this is likely targeted at.

At its core, it’s a slow burning but well scripted, & tense “political” thriller. Just the idea of a behind the scenes look into one of the world’s most secret & intensive rituals is enough to engage me. It’s beautifully shot, & expertly acted, with Ralph Fiennes giving a performance on par with some of his all time best. But there are times, especially with the ending, that I did find myself sitting back & thinking this is a little silly, & it seems to think it’s either smarter or more self important than it is.

Regardless, depending who you watch with, be prepared for some *conversations.*

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not what it seems on the outside. It seems predictable but has so mucb up its sleeve

a masterpiece
