After the sudden death of the Pope, Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is thrust into overseeing one of the Vatican’s most secretive traditions: the election of a new Pope. Locked inside the sacred halls with the Church’s most powerful figures, Lawrence begins to uncover hidden truths left behind by the late Pope—truths that could unravel the very fabric of the Catholic Church. Conclave takes viewers behind closed doors into the tension and intrigue of this ancient ritual, where faith, power, and secrets collide. Will Lawrence navigate the mounting conspiracies, or will the Church’s foundations be shaken forever?
"Fiennes, Lithgow, and Tucci absolutely chewing up the Sistine Chapel and mauling the Latin language. Recommend strenuously, even as it hit every Hollywood note you can imagine. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy!"
- Margaret Meserve, Papal Historian &
Daughter of Ham & Helen Meserve
“Conclave is undeniably engrossing to watch as it shuffles and reshuffles the narrative deck and serves up one juicy cardinal-red herring after another. While the story may be a parlor trick, there’s nothing phony about Fiennes’ performance.”
- Justin Chang, NPR
“All the acting is top notch, but Ralph Fiennes is nothing short of masterful as Lawrence, a good man caught in the maelstrom of these red-robed men and their outsized ambition, all while grieving the pope and suffering his own crisis of faith.”
- Max Weiss, Baltimore Magazine
