Entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2018)

I would say that this is definitely an entertaining film. It's a bit too fast-paced in its storytelling and editing, but it is Aaron Sorkin so that's to be expected. What keeps it strong throughout are the strong performances, particularly Jessica Chastain in the title character. Chastain is a great talent, and she makes this character work in such thrilling ways. I'm not sure if I personally think she gave one of the five best leading actress performances of the year, but that kind of attention is not unwarranted. Overall, this film is recommended, although it's not a masterpiece by any means.
