Review of Molly's Game (2017) by Lamontraymond — 27 Dec 2017
I was hoping for something truly special with this movie, but it doesn't get there. When I think about it, it's not Chastain or Elba who aren't doing their jobs - they are both excellent. It's the story, which is over-complicated and not helped by the hyper-speed dialogue which Sorkin is famous for.
Think West Wing dialogue on speed. At least with West Wing, when a character speeds through a critical piece of dialogue, you can pause and jump back 15 seconds on your DVR. Not in the theater. Lastly, there's nothing incredibly important about this story.
No massive life lessons to extract from it.
