The film Conclave, which won the BAFTA for Best Film, is a drama centered on the intricacies of the papal court. Initially overshadowed by American films, it gained traction due to its strong narrative and performances from a brilliant cast including Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow. The film's compelling storytelling draws from Robert Harris's adeptness in suspense novels, while Fiennes's portrayal of doubt and uncertainty stands out, reminiscent of his earlier, profound performances. The film thrives on its character dynamics and thoughtful direction, marking it as a significant contender in the awards season.
"Conclave's great strength is its narrative furniture, a build-out of the microcosm that is the papal court, appealing to Oscar voters through sturdy storytelling."
"Ralph Fiennes goes back to his frowning, thoughtful best... an absolute masterclass in conveying doubt, briefly glancing away and chewing the corner of his lip."
