Conclave
AroView: The premise of this smart and entertaining political thriller is the very definition of its title: a private meeting, or in the case of the Roman Catholic Church, an assembly of cardinals for the election of a pope.
Ralph Fiennes as Cardinal Lomeli provides a relatable, pragmatic anchor through which we can view this arcane world, one that bustles with the kind of front and back stabbing you might find in any institution where power is held in the balance. It’s a top-drawer drama with impeccable casting, production credentials and a sly, Oscar-winning screenplay that argues pertinent contemporary ideas.
“A gradually swelling, deeply intellectual, and unexpectedly fun political thriller…” ~Tomris Laffly, The A.V. Club
“Berger’s latest is a blast of brilliance, with a supremely compelling story driven by some astonishing performances.” ~Jason Gorber, Collider
