Chastain delivers a powerful performance with an excellent Sorkin script

Rating: 7/10 (30 October 2018)

I caught this movie on TV and was immediately drawn in and felt that I needed to watch it from the beginning. I from the initial few minutes that I caught of the film, I immediately knew that the sharp dialogue and script, that this would be a captivating story. The script has typical Sorkin pacing, as each character delivers their lines. Chastain delivers a solid performance and after seeing interviews of the real molly bloom, it's clear to see that she studied the character she would play. The movie tends to spoon feed the viewer when her father becomes her therapist and states what was obvious to a keen watcher, but I could understand why the choice was made to be direct. Overall, the story and script with solid performances by the leads makes for a great movie.
