Remarkably, Ronan had already been acting for four years when she broke out at the age of 13, playing the precocious and reckless child whose actions have devastating consequences on the couple (Keira Knightley and James McAvoy) at the heart of Joe Wright’s heartbreaking, decades-spanning tale of lost love and crippling regret.

Maybe that’s precisely why I was so drawn to Conclave, Edward Berger’s thriller/mystery about the selection of a new pope. The film, based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris, is littered with priests behaving badly and Isabella Rossellini doing her best to disapprove of absolutely everyone, but as far as we know, none of their various indiscretions involve the harming of minors. (Well, to be fair, there is one subplot involving Nigeria’s Cardinal Adeyemi engaging in an illicit affair with a nun from his home country, but there’s no specific reason to believe said nun was underage at the time.) Mostly, these potential popes’ less-than-good deeds can be boiled down to two words: “vaping” and “gossip,” both things I L-O-V-E!

While there’s never been a London-based Real Housewives, Bravo did release Ladies of London 10 years back, which ran for three seasons and was basically the same thing. Picture this: a group of rich ladies with bouffant blow-dried hair saying things like “Let’s get bloody sozzled!” before having fights in Michelin-starred restaurants as menacing piano music plays in the background. One of my favorite quotes from the series—which makes very little sense without context but which might give you an idea of the specific brand of mania that we could be in store for—is: “Don’t straddle my husband and hump him.” Please, can they just release an updated version of this?
