finished watching Conclave πππππ
Some segments of this movie are truly great, specially some dialogues that contrast the nature of "the work" with the realism of politics, like when a Cardinal tells the other to just admit what pontifical name they imagined if they ever became the pope, and how this ambition unfolds. The portrayal of factions, of opposing ideals common to any big organization, the intrigue; several interesting details relevant to the plot. I can't say I love the ending, though. The multi-layered plot twist felt a bit too farfetched. There was not enough development to build up the plausibility of that outcome.
