Conclave (2024)

Great until the last 10 minutes

The first hour and a half is excellently made political intrigue with gorgeous cinematography and fantastic acting shot against the backdrop of the beautiful Vatican architecture. Ralph Fiennes is terrific as the dean running the Conclave and doing his best to unwind the various plots to sabotage the candidacies of several "favorites". 9/10 for this part of the movie.

The last ten minutes is a bizarrely contrived hamfisted progressive detour that will have you wondering if you're still watching the same film. 3/10.

"The church is not tradition, the church is what we do next" is Kamala Harris tier word salad nonsense.

Tedesco is the real hero.
