3/🧵 - The acting in this religious drama is amazing with Ralph Fiennes showing perfectly how someone can do their job while questioning everything they believe in 🎭, Stanley Tucci as Cardinal Bellini brings life to someone who doesn't want to be pope but thinks he has to be, John Lithgow makes you doubt which side Cardinal Tremblay is really on 🎬, Isabella Rossellini as Sister Agnes doesn't show up much but when she does she owns every scene especially when she makes all the Cardinals shut up during an argument

4/🧵 - Watching all these church leaders try to stay proper and religious while playing politics is really something 🎪, every talk in this vatican story seems to have hidden meanings whether they're openly talking about church stuff or just chatting in hallways, all the actors had to act proper and political while still showing their religious side which couldn't have been easy 🎭, with so many characters each wanting different things it gets tricky to follow all their ideas at once since they're all trying to win
