The only reason I rented this movie is because I saw Idris Elba on the jacket cover That said it turned out to be a fairly interesting story based on true events

Kinda like 21, in that people are playing poker and there's a lot of lingo having to do with the game. There's also sportslingo because she used to ski. And Legalse, because she's been accused of … hanging with the wrong crowd, I guess. Not the worst plot, just unfortunate that it happened to touch on all these subjects I give zero fucks about.

I enjoyed the quick-witted dialog that Sorkin is so good at, though the movie seemed to use narration as a crutch a bit too much. The Elba and Chastain interactions were what I looked forward to.

I've handled Sorkin's anal-retentive style okay in the past, at least in some films. And I'm sure there's a much better film hiding inside this, or possibly in the source material, but here Sorkin's telling is just too manufactured to sustain any sort of an illusion.

Sorkin's first outing in the director's chair see's heavy influence from Scorsese and a bit of Fincher, but executed exceedingly well. The acting is fantastic all around and I think this easily in the running for best poker movies. And wow, Costner really surprised me with his big scene toward the end.

Sucker as I am for real life story based movies, of course I liked it. Pace, despite movie last for more than 2 hours, is great and everything has its right time and place, performances of Elba and Chastain are stellar and carry the movie very well.

Molly’s Game is one of the better poker/gambling films in quite some time. While it isn’t ground breaking, it excutes almost everything it needed to. The acting, especially from Chastain and Alba are excellent on all levels, on top of some great pacing, especially one that runs 240 min, and more importantly, does a great job of developing and presenting the character that Molly Bloom was. Truly a great adaptation of a interesting character in our world today.

It may not seem as tight as some of Sorkin's other work. The script is still as savvy as ever and Jessica Chastain may have found the performance she will be remembered for decades from now. Not to mention some amazing work from Kevin Costner and Idris Elba.

The music (and how Sorkin uses it) is pretty bad and cheesy, and it hurts the movie. Even if only a little. I kind of appreciated the Scorsese-and-Fincher-fanboyism, but Sorkin's not the greatest director, when it comes to putting together imagery and sound. When it comes to getting performances out of actors, or simply casting the right ones, though - kudos, Sir. I don't know if this is just my favorite script of his or if this is simply the best implementation of his dialogue I've seen so far.

Noted insufferably smug and superior Hollywood douchebag Aaron Sorkin writes some dialogue that just sings, here and everywhere else, and the way the movie jumps back and forth through time calls The Social Network to mind. The voiceover is a bit much but I got into the movie’s mix of poker and crime and general hustling and enjoyed watching the actors bounce that Sorkin dialogue back and forth.

This movie has its fair share of problems (over-narration, editing inconsistencies, flat characters), but in the end, I think anyone's reaction to this movie comes down to Sorkin's dialogue. For me, the snappiness of the dialogue got tired quickly, and while they provide some short-term entertainment – I was never bored out of my mind – they go at the expense of realism and character development. I just couldn't get myself to care about a world where everyone speaks in one-ups and one-liners

The filmmaker really goes into bat for the entrepreneuse here, which raises the possibility that he himself may have allowed his reason to succumb to her charms, but I'm not aware of any way in which the narrative deviates significantly from the facts (which doesn't prove much of anything, especially since there's probably no way to know the true nature of the most important of those facts). The film itself successfully entertains: even the three-minute therapy session was fun and interesting.

Jessica Chastain pulled it off masterfully. And as for the movie, to quote Churchill: "Success is the ability to move from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."

This was really solid. I really like Aaron Sorkin as a writer and it’s great to see him transition into directing and doing it so well. Although, I do kinda wish he and David Fincher had collaborated on this, like The Social Network (2010). Jessica Chastain was excellent, commanding the screen effortlessly. Idris Elba was reliably good, too. And yeah, it was a really interesting story and it was told very well. I totally recommend it.

this movie tells me 2 things 1.i am not at all intelligent 2.i loved the way after every fail, she took the next logical &rational & legal step, To win back. And hence she executed what rarely people can do, She did what she should have done - which is very rarely judged correctly by sm1 who's inside the situation (an outsider can see better) but she had much less known to her, everything was at a risk everytime (but just calc risks)

Sorkin misses the mark with Molly's Game creating a movie that is as uncompelling as it is shallow. The film carries Sorkin's signature fast-paced dialogue built around #feminism Twitter comments; this would have been passable had it not been delivered primarily by the unlikable, unsympathetic main character. Chastain's performance is great, as is Elba's, but the end result is a film that is tonally smug, crutching onto a Hollywood ending.
