'Conclave' review: Scandalous pope thriller starring Ralph Fiennes has shocking twists
Briefly

"Berger, who last directed the Oscar-winning 'All Quiet on the Western Front,' is a master entertainer who's allergic to lulls. Every second is dripping with drama."
"These men of the cloth connive, mislead and corruptly secure colleagues' support in dogged pursuit of becoming pontiff. I, however, was riveted."
"While I needle 'Conclave' for being far from realistic, its meticulous detail is evidenced immediately by the ceremonial removal of the papal ring from the corpse and the sealing of his apartment."
"The film based on Robert Harris' novel is a scandal-stuffed mystery that depicts Catholic cardinals as power-hungry politicos who put their self-interests ahead of their billion-strong flock."
