Based on Robert Harris' 2016 novel "Conclave"
Narrative
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..
A well written screenplay, that is intelligent and superbly acted
There should be more of these type movies, but sadly Hollywood has to pander and more often than not we are left with stories that spell everything out in advance and leave nothing to the imagination.
revelation surprised me— up to the very end
Everyone involved seemed to have a hidden agenda and there was dealing and double-dealing galore.
That forces me to submit to ramble on unnecessarily
I so recommend this as I so recommend IMDb not insist that each review is 600 words.
