Conclave
Conclave is a 2024 Vatican thriller directed by Edward Berger, based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris. The film stars Ralf Fiennes and Stanley Tucci.
Slated to do well at the Oscars, it tells the murky tale of a papal election, with cardinals behaving badly.
Berger, whose skill in setting tone and atmosphere was already apparent in his Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front
(2022), adapts Robert Harris’s novel in a way that’s so taut and controlled that it’s near-impossible not to be drawn in. Independent

A Complete Unknown
In the early 1960s, 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. Forming his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement, making a controversial choice that reverberates worldwide.
It’s a remarkable performance. Star of the moment Timothée Chalamet inhabits the loose-limbed, live-wire physicality of the young Bob Dylan and makes an impressively good fist of capturing the frayed hessian of his distinctive voice.
Hit after hummable hit, the soundtrack is a tribute to Dylan’s incredible creativity during this period of his career, and the impact the songs had on his audiences. Guardian

A Real Pain
A Real Pain is a 2024 comedy-drama film written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg. A coproduction between Poland and the United States, the film stars Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as mismatched cousins who reunite for a Jewish heritage tour through Poland in honour of their late grandmother, but their old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.
A whip-sharp comedy driven by the rattling verbal sparring between uptight, neurotic David and his outgoing, unpredictable cousin Benji. Guardian
Culkin won an Oscar for his performance but so could Eisenburg for writing, directing and acting.
