Conclave gets an OTT release

Directed by Edward Berger and based on Robert Harris's gripping 2016 novel, the film has an A-list cast to match, featuring Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Sergio Castellito and Isabella Rossellini. The story immerses audiences in the clandestine high-pressure process of electing a new Pope after the sudden death of the reigning pontiff.

Fiennes gives a commanding performance as Cardinal Lawrence who is charged with overseeing this ancient ceremony. As the most powerful men in the Catholic Church convene within the walls of the Vatican Lawrence becomes embroiled in a web of hidden truths and conspiracies that undermine the very foundations of the institution.
