Movie reviews: Wild Robot—slow start, big heart; Conclave—politically powerful cinema
I recently watched two fantastic movies in theaters. Wild Robot started a little slow but is a wonderful take on what it means to be human, adapt to changing environments, and parent. There’s even some magnificent religious undertones inside. My favorite line: “Fly like you, not like them.” Love it: 4/5 stars.
Similarly, Conclave has even more impressive cinematography and better acting. It touches on so many themes; politics, power, corruption, ambition, gender equality, faith, doubt, mystery. I was in awe of it—best move I’ve seen all year. 4.5/5 stars.
Both come highly recommended.
