Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence uncovers a trail of deep secrets left in the dead Pope’s wake, secrets which could shake the foundations of the Church.

From the brilliant mind of Edward Berger — director of the 2023 Academy Award winner for Best International Feature Film, “All Quiet on the Western Front” — “Conclave” features an incredible cast, including Stanley Tucci (“Spotlight”), John Lithgow (“3rd Rock from the Sun”) and Isabella Rossellini (“Blue Velvet”).
