Based on Robert Harris' 2016 novel "Conclave"
Story
When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church..
Sister Agnes: Although we sisters are supposed to be invisible, God has nonetheless given us eyes and ears
And now…a film for adults.Based on Robert Harris' 2016 novel, CONCLAVE takes the viewers inside the Vatican during the College of Cardinals’ process of selecting the new Pope…filled with Political in-fighting, twists, turns and surprises galore.And…if the average age of the folks in the Movie Theater I attended a showing is any indication…" Grown Ups" are flocking to this film.As Directed by Edward Berger (ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT), CONCLAVE moves along sprightly, unraveling a mystery – not a "whodunnit" but rather a "who's gonna get it" – and it gets surprisingly tense.This is thanks, in part, to the fine, fine actors that have been cast in this film.
Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort in the HARRY POTTER films) anchors the events as the "Dean" of Cardinals who is tasked with leading the disparate group of Cardinals to a consensus pick of the next Pope
He acts as much as a Detective as a Facilitator as he battles his own conscious of faith…and ambition…all while uncovering schemes and plots of some of the "humble servants" vying for the top job.Ably assisting are John Lithgow, Isabella Rosellini and quite a few others (mostly unknown) who battle for the "pole position" in the race to be the next Pope.
Now, some would say that this final twist is the point of the film, butI would have been fine without that point being madeYou be the judgeand join other "adults" in the movie theaterLetter Grade: A-8 stars (out of 10) and you can take that to the Bank(ofMarquis)
Special notice should be made to GREAT Stanley Tucci for his supporting turn as one of the contenders who’s platform seems to be "I don't want this" but who, underneath, really, really wants it.Don’t be surprised if both Fiennes and Tucci (as well as Director Berger) are mentioned come Oscar nomination time (they are that good).As stated above, this film has twists and turns galore and it is a fun ride to roll with these turns, but if I am being honest, I felt that this film went "one twist too far" and should have/could have ended 10 minutes before it ended (without the one last twist).
