Ratings and reviews

Cinematography is good. Started off great, was intriguing. Was hard to follow who was who at the beginning. By the end 3/4ths of the way through it started to lose me. Didn't like the ending as it was predictable who was going to become pope and just had a bad ending.

Conclave is a really interesting movie about the election of a new Pope. It's got a lot of suspense and intrigue, and the acting is great. It's not your typical thriller, but it's definitely worth watching if you like movies about politics and religion.

Not watching the final 20 minutes would be a travesty. This movie should be required for all Catholics, and those who call themselves Christians. 5 stars.
