Conclave - Blu-ray + Digital

This is an incredible drama. I didn’t think I would like it so I didn’t see it in the theater. Now I’ve seen it a few times on Blu-ray.

I will forever rave about this movie. I watched it a bunch last year on streaming and decided I wanted my surround sound to be used to best effect. The blu-ray did not fail me. This movie is drama, tension, and lot of intrigue all led by a Ralph Fiennes in his highest acting form. He should have won the Oscar for this but there were too many voters who thought he (and not Adrian Brody) had won before. Fiennes had never won and definitely deserved it for this film. (I'm not bitter.....) Anyway. A great film with lots of details you only catch on a re-watch. Definitely recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! The directing and acting was great. I also learned from listening to the commentary a new appreciation for all the highly skilled craft and construction persons who literally built many of the scenes either in real life or by skilful use of CGI. I did feel like the ending was a little bit manipulated and not easily believed, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I won't dwell on about it. I enjoyed this Blu-ray disc and have played it twice already in my first day of owning it. I watched it once regularly and the second time with the director's commentary running throughout the audio. It also comes with DVS (Described Video Service) to help describe the scenes and actions for blind and visually impaired persons, HOORAY!

Conclave is another example of the Motion Picture academy giving the Oscar for Best Picture to the wrong film. By far the best film of the year. The winner was a much less acclaimed film. And this time the Academy didn't have the excuse it was a foreign film like they tried when Roma didn't win

As a life long Catholic, I was quite astonished at the film. Not that it doesn’t happen this way, but I do have a hard time believing it does. I think the acting was exceptional, background shots amazing & storyline astonishing & believable. Enjoyed totally!

I enjoyed the movie, showing the machinations of the process of electing a new Pope. Somewhat reminiscent of the portrait in The Godfather, Part III. I am a non-practicing Roman Catholic and have experience of other religions but follow my own path. It showed the Cardinals for what they are: human. Spiritual as they may be, they have wants and needs like anyone else, selfless & selfish desires in their deeds, and human emotions. It is informative yet, one must keep in mind that it is fictional. The twist with the ending vote was surprising, yet, not a problem in my eyes.

I don't know why, because I am not Catholic, but movies about the Pope always seem to fascinate me, and this one did not disappoint. I also have and like "Shoes of the Fisherman" and "The Two Popes." This one was beautifully filmed and exceptionally well written and acted.

Mystery! Intrigue! Deception! Betrayal! Plot twists! All leading to a climax and conclusion I did not see coming! The starring actors and supporting actors, extras, directing, costumes, cinematography, set design and motion picture soundtrack is exceptional and of the highest caliber. Each time I watch this movie I am transported into a world I know little about. I am privy to the political maneuverings, private discussions and personal self-examination that takes place at the 'Conclave'. With each viewing I notice significant details I had missed before helping me to fill in more pieces of the puzzle of 'Conclave'.

Muy buena película, con subtítulos en español/latinoamerica.

Muy buena va película y a un muy bien precio
