Conclave (2024)

The pope is dead. The throne is vacant.

When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world's most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new pope, he finds himself at the centre of a web of conspiracies and intrigue that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church.

Conclave won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2025 Oscars, where it was up for eight Academy Awards, including Motion Picture of the Year. The film also won over 80 more awards internationally, including the Rotten Tomatoes’ Golden Tomato for the best-reviewed Mystery & Thriller Movie of 2024 and this year’s awards for Best Film at the BAFTAs, Best Acting Ensemble at the Critics Choice Awards, and Best Leading Actor from the Screen Actors Guild Awards for Ralph Fiennes as Cardinal Lawrence.

Directed by Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front), Conclave also stars Oscar nominees Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini, as well as BAFTA nominee Lucian Msamati (Gangs of London).
