This week, we're stepping into the shadowy corridors of power with Conclave! Directed by Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front), this gripping political thriller takes us behind the locked doors of the Vatican as a secretive election unfolds. When the Pope dies unexpectedly, the world’s most powerful cardinals gather to select his successor—only to find themselves entangled in a web of ambition, secrecy, and hidden agendas.

Starring Ralph Fiennes as the conflicted Cardinal Lawrence, Stanley Tucci as the enigmatic Cardinal Bellini, John Lithgow as the shrewd Cardinal Tremblay, and Sergio Castellitto as the calculating Cardinal Tedesco—alongside Isabella Rossellini and Lucian Msamati—Conclave transforms the papal election into a high-stakes chess game where faith and politics collide.

But does Conclave deliver a suspenseful and thought-provoking drama, or does it crumble under the weight of its own intrigue? And as the smoke rises over the Vatican, we have just one question… But Is Conclave Good?
