A good story, but overnarrated.

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2019)

It has a very compelling story, even if it wasn't inspired in true events, and the movie have some very good points: the pacing, the acting (speccially Jessica Chastain), the actors, etc, although it has some cheese or unnatural moments (especially with the relation of Molly with her father and attorney). I believe that the adaptation Oscar nomination was well deserved, although I hadn't read the book. But the narration is a very strong negative point.
There was simply too much of narration; it seems that Jessica Chastain was just reading a book. There was some clearly unnecessary narration, making it redundant (it's a movie, so why don't let the images tell the story?) or even boring. It reminded me of The Wolf Of Wall Street, but badly executed, and you should consider that The Wolf has 3 hours length.
Bonus points for the female empowerment: it was very strong, but subtle when necessary, very clever, natural, and respects the public intelligence, different from other new movies that clearly just uses it as marketing. It shows the women character in a delicate point of viewing. In other words, it is a great piece of work from the director.
I finished the movie with the sensation of a good story bad executed only due the narration; if it wasn't for that I would give maybe 7 stars. But if you don't care about it, it could be very enjoying.
