    A really beautiful, almost voyeuristic contemplation on what it means to leave and to be left behind. Even better than I remember.

    I think this will eventually be considered a generational movie. I have never seen a movie so gorgeous, so horrifying, so poignant in its themes. It is timely and timeless at the same time, and one of the great achievements of cinema.

    ★★★★

    Conclave feels like it was purpose-made to cause outrage from all the most annoying people you know, but it does that without losing its artistic integrity. Great performances, gorgeous cinematography, plenty of intrigue to keep you engaged. The ending is just a bit heavy handed, to me, but not to the detriment of all the great stuff here.
