CONCLAVE (2024) MOVIE REVIEW

[@samaxe1998]

I was so glad we felt the same way about the film. I'm excited to watch it with other people and get their thoughts. So thought-provoking and completely unlike anything I thought it would be. The main speeches about acceptance and faith, Fiennes' and then Diehz's when in that auditorium (and the one at the end), really struck something within me. They were beautiful and honest, and touched on so many of things I wished I heard from the church, at a younger age. I was genuinely laughing at the end of the film in disbelief, because you could NOT have convinced me this film would one day exist when I was a child. I was also surrounded by many elderly people who likely expected a very different film, and so their reaction made it hard not to laugh... I left the theatre calling my mother, ranting about how much I loved it and begging her to watch it. If that's not the sign of a good film, I don't know what is.
