Some might judge me badly (This has got mostly positive reviews) but this is one of the best examples of how to add unnecessary “WOKE” thing in the end and ruin the great film that it was for 105 minutes. I felt like banging my head after that ending. From 4 stars film to 3 stars film this suddenly became. I will be so upset if this film wins “best picture”. “Woke” is good but there’s some limit to it in films. Just to please certain section of audience, you can’t add it everywhere. It doesn’t fit properly here at all. Super disappointed. Positives - There are many. From background music to aesthetics (beautifully shot) to the performance of Ralph Fiennes, all were so good. Writing too was crisp throughout (105 minutes) and got to know about how they conduct this process of pope election. Unfortunately that ending ruined everything for me. I don’t even remember other good things that this film had now because of that pathetic reveal in the end.
