Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Conclave.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Conclave knows its audience.

Unpopular opinion: Conclave is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched Conclave last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Conclave?
Director clearly thought Conclave was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Conclave's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, Conclave would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
