Fantastic! the end is truly shocking. And something the Catholic Church might have to actually contend with. 5 Stars

The book is much better.The movie didn’t provide the backstory to the main characters/cardinals. They seemed flat to me. It was also so dark, the lighting, or lack thereof made it difficult to see/understand some of the symbolism.
The story line of course was dramatic. I had guessed the plot twist when I was reading.

Spoiler !

I think the movie portrayed the pope-elect as a stronger presence than in the book, Also, the issue regarding the medical procedure was not accurate.
The new pope was born isn a small village and the ‘female part’ was deformed so it was just more favorable to call the baby male . They were female, not intersex as the movie seemed to imply. They were female.

It was good, but go read the book.

The movie wasn't as good, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. So many movies are unwatchable these days. Entertaining.

Ralph Fiennes is spot-on perfect. A great cast, a sound storyline..... just a great movie. Don't miss it.

I love the cast, from Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rossellini and others, but I especially enjoyed the little twist at the end.

Yes, definitely... watch until the end. But throughout there are a hell of a lot of messages that really target the current state of political affairs (not only in the US).

Whether or not it is fully accurate to the actual conclave, I'd bet $$ it captures the human interactions pretty well.
