The responsibility to find a successor to the Pope falls on a beleaguered cardinal who finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy in Edward Berger's (All Quiet on the Western Front) tense psychological drama.

Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running the covert process of selecting a new pontiff after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence finds himself at the centre of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church.

Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow make the most of Peter Straughan’s (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) screenplay, based on Robert Harris’ 2016 novel, with a scene-stealing performance from Isabella Rossellini as the formidable Sister Agnes.

"Filled with juicy intrigue and mystery...a timely and tense political thriller." - Benjamin Lee, The Guardian
