Ralph Fiennes has long been on the list of best actors who have never won an Oscar, but that could change this year thanks to what many critics are calling his career's best performance as the Dean of the College of Cardinals in CONCLAVE.  The myster-thriller, based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris, follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events – selecting the new Pope. Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. But once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders 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.  In addition to praising Fiennes' performance, critics have called CONCLAVE "a deliriously fun watch in the way that tense, smart thrillers with an ensemble of great actors can be."
