I liked the ending of Conclave, it caught me by surprise. Felt like you could kinda see where the film was going then it just threw a wrench in the works, excellently done. The cinematography was top tier. All the characters felt believable and "grounded" (within the confines of the world it's set in, at least). For a film about cardinals it was delightfully gossipy and silly. A great balance between serious and stupid.

I've seen the trailer for Conclave and I cannot get over the "Cardinal Voldemort" aspect of it.

Ralph Fiennes is so good in it. His Oscar nomination is well deserved.

I enjoyed it as well but was almost hoping they would lean into the silly side more.

I feel like they could have made it a miniseries and really leaned into a lot of the chisme, but for a ~2 hour film not sure they could have dug too much deeper into all that without getting difficult to follow. Feels like they dwelled on each "candidate" and vote just long enough.

It's also beautifully shot, kind of shocked it got stiffed for a Cinematography nom.
