Review 736: Conclave

 

Based on the novel Conclave by Robert Harris; The Church's most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world, locked together in the Vatican halls. Tasked with running this covert process, Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself at the center of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church.

It's a film that takes us behind a very secretive world that no one's ever seen and probably will never see

There's a lot of infighting and lots of subtle and not so subtle backstabbing

There's something about Ralph Fiennes magnetic screen presnece that just  He's got his doubts, he's a religious but questioning man. He's a man of spiritual integrity.
