Conclave Notations et commentaires
- mickerdoo-4 jToo political and shock factor for me. A bit slow with a collection of characters that are more internal than external. Beautifully shot.
- Richard Scott Long13 janvier 2026I dont really know what to say,I liked it ,then I didnt
- Scott4 novembre 2024It asks some worthy questions but also is never brave enough to answer them in a meaningful or impactful way. Great production and performances wrapped around thin and unchallenging ideas.
- Audrey Layman10 février 2025The cinematography was A+, but it basically felt like I was just watching divas in long dresses gossiping with each other for 2 hours straight
- Ike Eyidah12 janvier 2026Did not expect this to be interesting but turns out selecting a new Pope can be a mystery film. Lovely acting, beautiful photography, and great soundtrack. This was enjoyable to watch. It has a weird twist at the end.
- nicpederson4 janvier 2026Smart, well acted, full of substance, heavy twist.. but just not that fun to watch tbh
- James Cormier14 décembre 2025Neat. Not sure about the ending though...left feeling a little 'empty?'
- Zac8 mai 2025It was a good movie up until the "plot twist" that was completely unnecessary.
- Atif Chaudry27 novembre 2025Not typically drawn to anything linked into the church or Vatican, bit I couldn't ignore this great cast. I was hooked straight away into this tense drama. The twist at the end may not have been needed, but still very entertaining anyway. Definitely recommend a watch.
- Varun22 décembre 2024I am an absolute sucker for movies that involve faith and politics and this one is a banger! The power games are very interesting to watch unfold, and they aren’t just detached events but they go hand in hand with the characters’ own development, mainly Lawrence who is played superbly by Ralph Fiennes. His performance perfectly captures each moment of trepidation and the slow hike to moral fortitude. I really loved some of the speeches too, it definitely makes you confront your own faith and what behaviours it invokes in you. The weak point of the movie is that a few events felt a bit improbable and manufactured to take the plot in a different direction, it didn’t feel fully earned and organic but I still don’t think it detracts from the overarching story. And I have to give huge props to the crucial score, it absolutely delivers in enhancing the tension, conundrums and conspiratorial vibes. The cinematography is also great, with some really good framing and even the blander colour palettes of the vestments and environments have a nice contrast that shines through. A lot of the twists and revelations were fantastic and I was thrilled with every second of this movie.
- hokasu15 novembre 2025An uninteresting story very well told.
- CrossCutCritic1 mai 2025Power, Secrecy, and the God Who Doesn’t Wait for Perfect Men --- There is something both ancient and absurd about watching grown men in red robes pace through marble corridors, whispering about salvation and strategy in the same breath. Conclave knows this. It doesn’t try to fix the contradiction. It invites you into it. What it doesn’t quite know — or perhaps dares not say — is that while these men talk about God, God is already moving among them. Quietly. Reluctantly. And, as always, unexpectedly. --- The plot is tight: The pope is dead. The world waits. The cardinals gather. And as the smoke rises and secrets surface, the weight of eternity hangs over men who, despite the liturgy and Latin, seem mostly like… us. Tired. Proud. Wounded. Protective of their legacies. At the center stands Ralph Fiennes’s Cardinal Thomas Lawrence — a man caught between obedience and truth, between the institution he serves and the God he fears might not be impressed by the rituals performed in His name. --- The film plays its archetypes broadly: The liberals are open-hearted and humane. The conservatives are cloaked in menace and shadow. It’s not new. It’s not subtle. And to be honest, it’s a little tired. But something more interesting happens when you stop measuring which side wins. You start to notice who breaks. Not politically. Spiritually. --- Because here’s what Conclave quietly understands — perhaps even in spite of itself: > God is not waiting for the right ideology. He is waiting for the moment a man realizes he can no longer lie to himself. That moment — and it does come — is the film’s real climax. It doesn’t happen at the altar. It doesn’t involve a vote. It happens in a private room, behind closed doors, when one man risks everything not to win, but to be clean. To be faithful. To stand naked before God and say: I didn’t protect my career. I protected the truth. That is the shape of the cross. Hidden. Costly. And unbearably honest. --- Conclave is a drama of whispered alliances, shifting loyalties, and papal chess. But beneath the intrigue lies something older than the Church and more disruptive than politics: A God who still chooses the weak. Who still confounds the wise. Who still enters locked rooms, not to endorse anyone’s strategy, but to breathe on their wounds and say, Peace. --- If you’re waiting for a movie to restore your faith in the Church, this isn’t it. But if you’ve ever wondered whether God still shows up in broken places, among imperfect men, and calls them — still — to speak truth at great cost? Then maybe Conclave is closer to resurrection than it wants to admit. *** If Conclave moved you, here are more reviews that explore conscience, grace, and hidden courage: Small Things Like These — Quiet obedience in the face of institutional silence. The Tree of Life — A symphonic meditation on suffering, beauty, and the voice of God. Greyhound — A wartime psalm of prayer, command, and mercy on the sea. WarGames — A teen thriller turned parable of restraint, logic, and second chances. Kapo — A lost girl, a death camp, and the God who hunts His children through hell to bring them home. Or if you're open to stories where the cross cuts deeper: The Gorge — Love with shrapnel still lodged in the soul. The Safety of Objects — Domestic life unraveling into lament and quiet epiphany. Brave the Dark — One boy. One teacher. One rescue, paid for in scars. All under Crosscutcritic in Plex.
- guiv724 avril 2025Loved it! And watched it 48 hours before pope Francois died!
- Cubane27 octobre 2025A very unique look into the politics of the Catholic church, and perhaps one of the few films nominated for an academy award in 2024 that is actually worth anyone's time.
- Joseph Banet8 mars 2025Very solid movie, quite possibly one of my favorites. As a Catholic I very much enjoyed it. No one is perfect not even the Cardinals of the Catholic Church. Would highly recommend this film.
