Based on Robert Harris's book of the same name, Conclave stars Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini. The movie offers a glimpse into the ceremonial and secretive process of electing a new pope. After the mysterious death of the sitting pontiff in Conclave, the papal conclave must convene to choose his successor. One man, Cardinal Lawrence (played by Fiennes), is tasked with organizing the election amid the discovery of a shocking secret that could destroy the Church.

The intrigue and suspense of Conclave are fictional, but they rival what happens when a real papal conclave takes place. Behind closed doors, the College of Cardinals goes through a series of steps to choose the new leader of the Catholic Church while the world watches with eager anticipation.

Spoiler Alert: Spoilers follow for ConclaveAfter a relatively dry last couple of months, the tail end of October and November are set to finally see a plethora of exciting films released as the Oscar season heats up. Its seemed like a relatively uneventful race thus far, outside of Joker: Folie Deux crashing and burning, but this weekend sees the opening of an almost surefire contender, Conclave. Directed by Edward Berger of 2022s surprisingly great reimagining of All Quiet on the Western Front, Conclave focuses on the impending election for a successor to the pope, during which the candidates clash for power and influence over their fellow cardinals.

While obviously its directed with more restraint than Bergers recent war epic, Conclave makes a seemingly boring premise exciting; it feels almost like a claustrophobic thriller at times. Its also delightfully pulpy, a sort of Succession with popes, with all the backstabbing...

This review was originally published during the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.

Directed by Edward Berger, who won Best International Feature for All Quiet on the Western Front, Conclave has a simple premise: when the pope dies, cardinals from all over the world are sequestered as they choose the holy fathers successor.

An unexpected major Oscar contender has entered the race, and it's a doozy. Conclave, a pope thriller set in the Vatican, is getting widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Starring Ralph Fiennes, the film follows a cardinal in the midst of a vast conspiracy during the selection of a new pope, one of the most secretive processes in the world. Conclave is in theaters this weekend, and it's safe to say it's probably the best film out on the big screen at this moment.

With a 93% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, Conclave is gearing up to be a must-watch this weekend.
