s  Conclave surprised me in the best way. I didn’t expect a movie about a bunch of cardinals locked in the Vatican choosing a new Pope to feel tense, emotional, and honestly kind of epic  but it really does. The story follows Cardinal Lawrence, who’s put in charge of the whole election, and you can practically feel the pressure on him. He’s trying to do the right thing even while everyone around him has their own agenda, and that makes him easy to root for. Ralph Fiennes is incredible —not in a flashy, dramatic way, but in a quiet “wow, he’s carrying centuries of history on his shoulders” kind of way. The supporting cast adds so much personality, especially in the small moments where they exchange these loaded glances across the voting hall. It’s like political drama mixed with a tiny bit of mystery, but done with way more elegance than most films aimed at younger audiences. I also thought it did a great job of explaining the hierarchy of Catholicism

Clueless is a delightful teen comedy that really speaks to young audiences who love light-hearted tales about friendship, identity, and the ups and downs of growing up. Personally, I found it enjoyable because of its fun and carefree vibe. One of the film’s standout features is Alicia Silverstone’s performance; she brings Cher to life in a way that’s both hilarious and surprisingly relatable. Even the film’s shortcomings, like its predictable plot and some shallow moments such as Cher's primary concern with her life revolves around her extensive, computer-controlled wardrobe and matching outfits. add to its charm, making it feel authentically teen-focused instead of overly serious. The 90s fashion, music, and humor give it a distinct personality, while the supporting characters keep the story vibrant and warm.  I think the cinematography really helped do this as  the camerawork  helped create that pleasant vibe as well as making feel light hearted Sure, it might not ...
