CONCLAVE - Official Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters November - YouTube

The pope is dead. The throne is vacant. Conclave is only in theaters this November, starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow and Isabella Rossellini. Watch the trailer now.

From director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front), Conclave follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events – selecting a new Pope. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence finds himself at the center of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church.

Just saw the trailer for this in theaters today. Looks great. Even in that 2 min trailer you can tell the cinematography is going to be top-notch.

Yeah I’m surprised he rated it that high! I am super excited for it!

I hate that films I want to see don't open in my town.

The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Boys in the boat
The apprentice
Am I Racist
Return of the Jedi
Godzilla minus one
and now Conlave not showing any upcoming listing.

Woo, church conspiracy, woo…

I’ve seen enough.

The casting of an actor (Carlos Diehz) no one has seen before on screen, as a cardinal no one in the conclave had heard of before (Benitez), was a clever "meta" choice.

I was intrigued by this story throughout. I wondered about the re-watchability of this movie after leaving the theater, now that I know how it all unfolds. I don't have an answer for myself yet, but the performances from all actors involved will draw me in for a second watch.

I watched the film last week and thought Diehz was great in it. He should have gotten a nomination for supporting actor.

Unfortunately for all its suspense, it telegraphed the ending early on. Almost the entire movie was simply not so subtle misdirection.

Maybe I've seen too many movies.

well, PART of the ending was super predictable from very early on. If you say you saw the whole ending coming, you're lying. They never even hinted at it.

Well I'm not sure what part you're referring to.

If you didn't know

[Show spoiler]Benitez was going to win as soon as that character showed up,

I'm not sure what to say.

As for

[Show spoiler]the hysterectomy issue, I had Benitez as trans so not too far off

though I suppose that was more an educated guess than anything.

[Show spoiler]I know this is a movie and not reality but Benitez never would have won. No one had even heard of him until the conclave began.

That's my one minor issue with the film. There are a few moments of sheer implausibility. Otherwise it's very good. I'd imagine an Oscar nom is quite likely.

yes, I quickly assumed that first part would happen. it was the 2nd part I didn't see coming. I didnt catch anything that would allow me to make such an educated guess at that.

[CreasyBear]

This was very good. Great ensemble.

[cinemaphile]

I found this surprisingly intriguing and compelling... until the ending just made me roll my eyes and drop my rating by a half-star.
It's not predictable, I'll give it that. I thought I knew where it was going, but instead they brought in a pointless twist that was never even hinted at in the rest of the film.

Ralph Fiennes deserves an Oscar nomination, though.
