Conclave is among the most prestigious movies of 2024, and it has won a lot of awards for its various parts. The British drama by director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front) made an early impression on viewers following its debut at the Telluride Film Festival in the fall of 2024. With a dramatic and surprisingly funny tone, Conclave intricately and personally dives into the process of the Cardinals choosing a new Pope. Ralph Fiennes’ Cardinal Lawrence is the focal point, but it is really a movie that shines thanks to the sum of its parts.
