Review of Molly's Game (2017) by Kcsimms — 16 Jan 2018
Molly's Game is a solid movie. I watched the trailer before seeing the movie, and I thought that it looked good. I had heard nothing about Molly Bloom beforehand, so the story was entirely new to me. What an incredible story! Certain aspects were probably dramatized for cinematic purposes, but an interesting story nonetheless.
Fantastic performances by Jessica Chestain and Idris Elba; I really enjoyed the character development of both of the characters they portray. The chemistry that Chestain and Elba shared was delightfully surprising.
Jessica Chastain is solidifying herself as one of the best actress's in Hollywood. It's only a matter of time before she wins her first Oscar. There were a few superfluous scenes that I don't believe contributed to the film, along with a couple that I would have changed.
Other than that, the film is solid and I would recommend seeing it.
