I went to Conclave, only the 2nd or 3rd movie in the theater this year; Sorry Sonny, I'll do better.

I knew all the spoilers, and let me just say, I'm not ready to do your job, but I thought the film did an excellent job of transmitting the weight of the decisions the men faced. I really felt the pressure on Cardinal Lawrence. I felt the striving and excitement of the men who could become pope. And since I'm never going to be in any of those roles, I thought the film was well done. The spin at the end was ... a bit gratituous.

Gratuitous, but still cool. I’m Catholic and thought it was quite fitting.
