I watched it twice, which is pretty unheard of for me. I thought the book was fine but not a favourite. And it's not like it was the best movie ever, but I did feel like it was the best self contained scifi film I've seen in at least 10 years. People acted like adults without being aggressive, decisions were made thoughtfully, it felt realistic which made the visuals more impactful.

> I watched it twice, which is pretty unheard of for me. I thought the book was fine but not a favourite. I think it's interesting when a movie can be faithful, and yet hit differently. Conclave was like that for me—I enjoyed the book, but it came across as a political thriller with a Catholic twist. But the movie, by showing all of the uniforms, all of the architecture and art, came across far more significant than just a political thriller. A great cast helped with that, admittedly.
