Conclave

Full disclosure: I’m Catholic- not sure if that clouds my judgement on this one. I enjoyed this peek at the very secret process of choosing a new Pope. No surprise that the quest for power causes devious acts by “holy” men who aren’t very holy. Impressive acting. The story is able to keep you on pins and needles even though it’s a kind of boring process. I ended up feeling empathy for a pretty lonely life filled with doubt & crises of faith. There’s a few twists: some that aren’t so believable and some that are. It’s definitely worth watching. I had 1 watch check, you can rent/stream it at home. This is a hard call: I think Ryan would fall asleep, not much action BUT it is a compelling story, so he actually might stay awake.
