Overview
After the unexpected death of the Pope, Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with managing the covert and ancient ritual of electing a new one. Sequestered in the Vatican with the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders until the process is complete, Lawrence finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could lead to its downfall.
It probably doesn’t need to be said, but the acting is phenomenal. I mean, has Fiennes ever been better? While the movie has a backdrop of Catholics electing a new priest, this movie is really a commentary on modern society and the different social and political viewpoints that dominate the world today. From that perspective, the movie is extremely well done. I think it lost a little bit of steam towards the end (I liked the setup better), I enjoyed it.
