A taught, political thriller of a different sort with an incredible cast and beautiful set/costume design. I’ve been to the Sistine Chapel and I was honestly surprised the Vatican would let them film inside until I read that they recreated it for the movie (cuz of course they did!). Currently streaming on Peacock 🦚
a gorgeous, hopeful, and mysterious film that I know will send self-proclaimed tradcath sedevacantists into a rage 🧘🏻♀️ sure it is a bit reductive and simplistic on Catholic doctrine, politics, and internal power struggles, but perhaps a necessary distillation for the moment we have found ourselves in...loved it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Y'all. Please go watch conclave. Literally the best movie I've watched this year, by far; or at least pretty up there. The plot twist is amazing, but more than that, the whole movie does such an incredible job discussing doubt, religion, and certainty. 4.5/5.
with everything going on, i think everybody should sit down and watch conclave. best movie of 2024 &&& was ROBBBED bad at the oscars. watch it watch it watch it
I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little. It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot. People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative. A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.
