Reviews
- "A gradually swelling, deeply intellectual, and unexpectedly fun political thriller, Berger’s twisty film takes the audience behind the notoriously secretive closed doors of the Catholic Church for one of its most private processes: the election of a new pontiff."
- The A.V. Club - "CONCLAVE is one of those rare films that respects the audience’s attention, even as it sneaks a few tricks behind their backs."
- Variety - "CONCLAVE is packed with unexpected twists and its final reveal is one viewers will never see coming, an increasingly rare occurrence in modern movie-making and the mark of an impeccably crafted thriller."
- Entertainment Weekly - "Berger does a fine job controlling all of these performances, and he also creates a rich atmosphere for the production."
- The Hollywood Reporter - "Berger’s latest is a blast of brilliance, with a supremely compelling story driven by some astonishing performances."
