i thoroughly enjoyed conclave but it was a silly little mystery movie trying very hard to be serious dramatic oscar bait which meant the fact that the film’s meaning was so diluted as to be irrelevant was immediately evident.

#conclave #also thought the issues that the cardinals addressed were so superficial and poorly articulated #idk tedesco could have been so interesting (mainly bc of the latin liturgy bit he had) and i wish they'd done more with that #and for a movie nominally about catholicism!! INSANEEE that they didn't really talk about christ until the homily like forty minutes in!!!!#it wasn't about god. no one had a crisis of *faith*. lawrence had a crisis of prayer and the deceased pope had issues with the church #do love me a good spiritual dryness moment but it wasn't really spiritual dryness was it.#lawrence's storyline also had no real resolution and it's a MOVIE so it shouldve methinks #none of it was about god and maybe it should have been #was beautifullly beautifully shot though. the costumes!! the scenery!! oh my god!!#film
