The process to elect a new pope following Pope Francis' death begins on May 7, with the movie "Conclave" offering a fictional depiction of this event. Although the film accurately portrays some logistics of a papal election, it significantly embellishes character interactions and events, diverging from historic realities. Gonzaga University’s B. Kevin Brown praised the film for its adherence to real procedures but noted inaccuracies in cardinal attire and the setting of ceremonial events, suggesting a blend of truth and creative storytelling which may mislead viewers about the actual conclave process.
"Conclave" depicts papal election logistics accurately but takes liberties with how characters engage, highlighting differing approaches to cardinal behavior during the real process.
B. Kevin Brown remarks that while the film captures conclave procedures well, some inaccuracies in attire and ceremonial settings detract from its authenticity.
