We take a closer look at "Conclave"

George Thomas praises the movie "Conclave," highlighting its exceptional cast, including Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow and Stanley Tucci, and its balanced portrayal of the process of choosing a new pope, addressing both the church's virtues and vices. The film is thought-provoking, explores political intrigue, and delves into the crisis of faith of one man. Speaker 1 believes it deserves its eight Oscar nominations, including for Best Picture, despite the absence of director Edward Berger in the Best Director category. Craig Shoup agrees, noting the film's old-school drama appeal and its potential as a contender for Best Picture, despite the challenge posed by the lack of a directing nomination.
