Going by the poster and early reviews, The Conclave looked like it had all the makings of a powerful film but it ended up being a slow, dull watch that didn't deliver.
The acting was solid, especially from Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci. Fiennes brought real depth to Lawrence, a well-written character with a strong moral compass. The cinematography and sound design were also highlights especially the use of silence in moments of reflection & contemplation. You could hear the characters breathing, which was a nod to the theme of age, mortality.
The film did a good job portraying the inner workings and issues within the Church with accuracy and seriousness. But despite all that, it just couldn't hold my attention. From the start, it struggled to build any real tension or sense of importance around the conclave. The pacing dragged, and I found myself constantly checking how much time was left. It lacked mystery or build-up, which really hurt the overall film experience.
And then there was the ending as if the previous plots of sins of the past, corruption and conservatism wasn't enough they decided slide this at the end-completely out of nowhere. The twist felt sudden, radical, and kind of undermined everything the film had been building. It came off as politically driven and a sign of the time we're living in.
Despite strong performances and technical strengths, The Conclave turned out to be a disappointment. Not a bad film, but definitely a one-time watch.

Bringing back the old "retired assassin's past catches up to him" formula, this one stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Monaghan, Ciarán Hinds - and a special shoutout to the adorable baby! Unfortunately, even a strong cast couldn't save this fast-paced mess of a movie. The script is weak, the plot is predictable, and the overall execution feels lazy. Dan's kids' performances are half-hearted at best, lacking any charm the film desperately needed. Apple's choice to back this project feels questionable - it's disappointing and forgettable. Honestly, you might end up regretting the time you spent watching it.
