Strong performances all around from a great cast. Ralph Fiennes is lead actor here. He’s always brooding and always in doubt, but manages to bravely steer the voting process through Catholic politics and scheming.
Stanley Tucci is magnetic. Truly owns every scene. How does he do that?
Isabella Rossellini, I haven’t seen her in a long while. She portrays a truly formidable nun. Scary at times.
Cinematography is top tier. Some really nice conceptual shots here
By today’s standards, the film can be slow at times, but I don’t mind it. Most films used to be that way. It gives some time to reflect, which is perfect for this particular religious subject matter.
Oh and there is a massive twist at the end., which is fantastic if it’s your first viewing, but, I tend to watch movies repeatedly if I like them.
I watched the Conclave last night.
The Pope has died and a new one must be selected.
