In the mood for a riveting thriller? | Conclave
Edward Berger’s Conclave captures the emotional events in which the College of Cardinals shuts out the world to elect a new pope in the Vatican. Confronting back-room conspiracies and scandalous secrets that could derail the process, Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) must guide the church in its search for the next leader. With a supporting cast that includes John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, and Isabella Rossellini, the movie provides a stunning look into a world of global power few have witnessed. Nominated for six Golden Globes, Conclave “is a deftly executed and gripping tale of secrets, lies, and human ambition,” writes Hey U Guys.

Alexander Skarsgård in The Northman
In the mood for an epic adventure? | The Northman
In The Northman, Robert Eggers crafts an eye-opening epic about betrayal, revenge, and redemption in the Viking world. A young prince (Alexander Skarsgård) forges a destiny to avenge his father (Ethan Hawke) and save his mother (Nicole Kidman) by embarking on a journey that takes him from his homeland to the mythic world of Norse Gods. Meticulously researched, the film also stars Willem Dafoe, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Björk. “History comes thundering back to life,” writes the Independent about the film’s jaw-dropping action scenes and stunning landscapes. “A cinematic saga worthy of the ancestors,” writes Empire. Egger’s latest cinematic adventure, Nosferatu, is now in theaters.
