Saw this on a plane without first remembering who wrote (and directed it). and kept thinking "what a SMART screenplay...I had no idea poker could be so interesting!" When the credits rolled at the end, it all made sense. Real entertainment for people with functioning brains.

An unengaging directorial debut from Sorkin. Nothing about this film is properly fleshed out, underwhelming coming from Sorkin. I feel JC was miscast, so was Elba. MG to me feels like another TV film. The structure along with the pacing is all quite uninteresting, the running time overlong. Better luck next time, Sorkin, or stick to what you're good at.

Oh wow, Sorkin is my favorite writer for a long long time, but his directorial debut is above all my expectations. Only downside is that the movie is maybe a bit too long. Apart from that it is one of the best movies of the year.

unutulup gidecek bir film olduğu aşikar. üstelik gayet iyi bir materyal sunuyor olmasına rağmen bir tv filmi gibi kerhen çekilmiş izlenimi bırakıyor. sorkin, senarist olarak hikayeleri birbirine bağlayarak sürükleyici bir kurmaca ortaya çıkarma konusunda başarılı fakat bunu hayata geçirirken yönetmen olarak vizyonu yeterli olamıyor. chastain bir süredir aynı rolü oynuyor olmasının etkisiyle otopilotta gibi. senaryo molly'yi övdükçe o "ya aynı işte bu da" diyor.

Infectiously dynamic, tautly directed and, as expected, perfectly written, this is a movie that catches the attention and never lets go, featuring a beguiling performance by Chastain. Its one sin is pacing and a reluctance from Sorkin to remove unnecessary fat.

Although it's a technically confident directorial debut, it may've been better for Sorkin to have instead worked on another draft. This film can certainly be engaging, often in an entertaining manner, but it also suffers from over-explanation and a few too many corny speeches, as if the film is trying its best to paint Molly as nothing other than a heroine. It sometimes succeeds in showing her moral concerns with herself, but the worst courtroom scene in history at the end negates that.

Aaron Sorkin is by miles my favorite screenwriter. So disappointed to see him lean this much on voice over - my very most hated writing crutch. Masked by about 90 minutes of needless, grinding, exhausting voice over exposition is a pretty good effort, and it frequently enough contains the sharp Sorkin dialog I like so much. Better luck next time.

Sorkin's directorial debut is a somewhat uneven, occasionally clunky rendering of his own screenplay, which nevertheless tells a fascinating story, anchored by Chastain's superb performance and the contributions of a well-chosen supporting cast (though Elba feels underutilised). Inevitably provokes comparisons with THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and MOLLY could have benefited from a director more removed from the screenplay to tighten things up a bit.

Decent enough movie that lacked feels. I can't stand the smart-ass dialogue used to show strong feminine character. The one-liners and quips with her attorney were so cringy. As was the over-the-top speech from the Defense to the DA. Molly was presented as this perfect heroine, so it was difficult to sympathize when she went through being a drug addicted criminal with daddy issues. Obviously it was well-acted and well-written.

Started out in a fast-paced, breezy style. Then slows to a crawl. Nearly an hour too long. There's barely 90 minutes of story here. The story (organizing poker games) isn't interesting, and the main character isn't likable. Chastain plays her from opening shot, to final credits as one note: "sullen". All the crazy highs and lows and she never cracks a smile even once? Geesh. And the coup de grace, the "Daddy issues" scene is the most embarrassing thing I've seen in quite some time. Ugh.

This is not to say that this film is without merit. It's riveting, well-written and superlatively performed. It even has a moral of sorts, as well as a few surprisingly heart-warming moments. But in the end, Molly's Game may leave viewers feeling like they're holding a bust hand: cards that look promising, but that add up to nothing.

I'll just start with saying, if you don't like Aaron Sorkin, don't even think about watching this movie. The movie is shot in a similar style to the dialouge, fast paced and lots of movement all centered around talking. The movie constantly hits you with laughs or craziness. Jessica Chastain proves she can play two roles perfectly, the bitchy female who gets her way (Zero Dark Thirty) and now the strong female who gets her way (Molly Bloom)
