My family dropped our expensive satellite dish service and switched to Roku many years ago and have saved a TON of money! I highly recommend it!

Thank you so much for your support!
The riveting movie is based on the Robert Harris novel of the same name that came out in 2016. Robert Harris co-wrote the screenplay with Peter Straughan.

The movie was directed by German-born Edward Berger, who also brought us All Quiet on the Western Front in 2022, which was nominated for 87 awards and won 57 of them!

Already, Conclave is receiving well-deserved Oscar buzz.
The cast is absolutely fantastic and includes three Oscar nominees: Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow. All three are sure to be nominated again for their roles in this movie. They were THAT good.
Other standouts in the film include Isabella Rossellini, Lucian Msamati, Sergio Castellitto, and, of course, Carlos Diehz.
The film is absolutely gorgeous to look at. Visually, it’s stunning. There are so many perfect vignettes that look like artistic masterpieces. The cinematography by Stephane Fontaine will probably get her nominated for awards for her work in this film.
Secrets and scandals are uncovered slowly enough, yet so constantly that keep you on the edge of your seat.
The film was shot in Rome, Italy. Nothing was actually filmed inside Vatican City, but the set designs are extremely convincing.
The twist at the end is generating a lot of buzz. No spoilers here! I had heard it was ridiculous and it did make several audience members I sat with in the theater laugh; however, I thought it was actually touching and even sweet. It provided insight on how our weaknesses can actually become strengths.
Many of the scenes take place in the famous Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. Of course, movies can’t actually be filmed inside Vatican City, but the set looks extremely convincing.
I love that the film illustrated the sweet, and often invisible, service of the nuns instead of only focusing on the cardinals. There are many ways to serve God and our fellow man.
The beautiful music by Volker Bertelmann was potent, especially when mixed with moments of only tension-filled sound effects.
I loved the subtle, visual moments that were filled with nuances. For example, we see a cardinal look out an open window as a light breeze blows on his face, suggesting the winds of change taking place inside the Vatican.
