Overall, an enjoyable movie

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2020)

A narcissist, raised by a narcissistic father, keeps company with a den of worse narcissists. Elba's character is the shill by which we come to feel compassion for the title character. The movie is gripping. A young woman with not only a superior intellect but moxie and resourcefulness takes charge. Chastain is wonderful in every way. My cynicism is not directed at the quality of the movie experience but more to the way the truth is spun. Molly's intellect and industriousness are admirable and it made for a good movie. I don't know how much the movie veered from the actual truth but if it's accurate, Molly may be a great skier but her morals are diametrically opposed to her athletic ability. The movie had a bit of a Molly Bloom PR piece feel about it - Molly Bloom; what integrity. Precisely. What integrity?
