Eddie Redmayne haircut makes him look like he playing a 12 year old with a mortgage. Slick up the dialogue all you want this is a boring as hell courtroom drama. This movie is one of those IMPORTANT EVENT trolling for Oscar nonsense pieces.

Aaron Sorkin brings his extremely saccharine, artificial style to a fascinating historical trial, squandering a precious opportunity. From the blatantly fake first scene at the DOJ to the ridiculously Hollywood ending, he omits, embellishes, glosses over, rearranges and heavily remodels a story whose actual facts (and a realistic reconstruction) would have been immeasurably more engaging to watch. SBC, Redmayne and a brief Michael Keaton bit are fun to watch, but that's little comfort.

It's a dialogue-heavy courtroom drama with all the humour, high-stakes intensity, and fiery one-liners ("What's your price?" "My life") of an action film. The script and editing masterfully ramp up the pre-, during-, and post-protest tension simultaneously (adding in Abbie's stand-up was a cool touch) and the cast is excellent (Rylance and Cohen are standouts). The prominence then disappearance of Seale's poignant sub-plot is the only real misstep here (the ending is schmaltzy but effective).

Again, I must not have saw the same movie as everyone else. I'm not usually al lethargic interested in courtroom dramas, but the quick dialogue and editing kept me thoroughly invested. I can't say I remember absolutely everybody's name and the very last scene is pretty cliched. There are a lot of names and individual things going on, but I never felt lost. The acting is fantastic and the directing and writing are very solid. Sue me... It's one of the best of 2020.

Basically, Chicago 7 for dummies, but I don't mean that exclusively in a negative sense. While Sorkin depicts certain characters and situations in a borderline cartoonish manner at times, it works as decent shorthand to get to the meat of the arguments Sorkin is eager to dissect. The film moves at a rapid clip, and there's not a single actor here that's giving less than 100%. Not everything in this works, and the last scene is dreadful, but it's a riveting watch on the whole.

A good project for Sorkin, allowing him to revel in the things he’s best at while keeping his bullshit to a minimum (for the most part, at least). An unbelievably phenomenal cast give superb performances across the board, especially Cohen, Strong, Rylance, and Langella. Some exceptional montage editing. Bumped my score down a few points for some elitist Sorkin moments and that unbelievably cheesy ending, but this is still his best project in a decade and very strong overall.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 is mediocre historical revisionism at best.At it's worst it's a liberal self-deception.It's recapitulating to all the worst habits of Hollywood self-infatuation, liberals lying to themselves that everything is okay in terms of racism, the Vietnam war and love of institutions (the FBI, DOJ,courts) . That is institutions may overstep their mark sometime, but because the little man can beat injust administrations, the system works. "We're protesting the war not the cops."

An overly long slog that feels very self-congratulatory in a smug liberal way (much like how my reviews sound, so I understand the territory). So, essentially, pretty much exactly what you'd expect from Sorkin. On the surface, parts of this are entertaining. But, it felt like there was no flow to the script. The ending was a Hallmark moment, and may as well have had the Judge telling the 7 how wrong he was and how he has learned from their crazy hippie ways to question authority.

Naturally this is a very sharp script under Sorkin, with solid direction behind it and a very complimentary, believable ensemble performance. The Kangaroo elements of Hoffman's courtroom are well-established, and in typical Sorkin fashion, a little hyperbolic (but not so much as to be unbelievable). The intensity uptick of Bobby Seale's assault was a high point. I would hesitate to call this "inspired" but it is almost flawlessly made and should be seen and contrasted against the modern day.

As soon as the "Richard Schultz" character enters the film, you can see how much Sorkin has removed anything he disapproves of in this case and inserted himself in its place. He also takes great ideas and goes too far with them to prove how clever he is, such as the examination of language in incitements. For a film applauding anti-establishment, this is a hell of an establishment film, exemplified by the excruciatingly laughable ending scene. Otherwise, this has a couple of gripping moments.

By making Redmayne our typical Sorkinian protagonist, a privileged White dude who works within the system to effect change, Sorkin obviously misses the whole point as to what and why these people were protesting in the first place. If respectability politics worked, no one would have felt the need to stage such massive protests. Despite the naivete and saccharine ending, it's still the best courtroom drama in years with great dialog and performances. The Academy Awards will probably love this

Probably the most surprisingly great film from last year. I went in not knowing ANYTHING about the plot or story, so I was a little lost at first. I quickly caught up and enjoyed this immensely. The tone never gets too serious or sad and has some nice comedic relief throughout. Not sure the filmmakers new this would be released at a VERY timely date, but It was. Still very relevant and thought-provoking. Would highly recommend!

When it hits, it hits. But it also feels like a hallmark movie many, many times. I forgave some of the more Hollywood moments, thinking they were so heightened they had to be real--and then they were not. That said, most (not all) the performances were captivating and it got me to read up and learn more about the real life events, which are fascinating.

Nice movie about a case that certainly deserves more attention. For a courtroom drama, it's rather entertaining and well put together. However, the overall political message is very toothless. Yippies are portrayed as looking for violence, black panthers as thugs, the prosecutor as a secretly good guy, etc. I guess Netflix or Aaron Sorkin were afraid of being labelled as anarchists, which is sad given all the parallels with the current "antifa scare". Cmon, dare, say it, fuck fascism.

Seemingly animated by a double imperative probably born out of despair at what passes for activism these days: first, to make protesters seem like sympathetic folks again, even heroes; second, to remind current resistance types that a little bit of intelligence and self-awareness goes a long way. While never rising to any great heights, and rather too Hollywoodised, Sorkin knows how to weave the threads of a tale together so as to entertain an audience while framing questions and making points.

This is an extremely well paced, well written courtroom drama that is a very easy watch. It's a little less Sorkiny than you'd expect, but this should probably make it more accessible for those who don't usually react to Sorkin's writing style. Some of it is most certainly still there, but it's toned down a bit. Langella's good as the villainous judge, balancing bias with general incompetence and maybe some sort of dementia, but all of the performances are good. The last scene is a bit much.

Chicago 7 is another masterwork from Aaron Sorkin. He has passed his director growing pains and has delivered a topical and engaging courtroom drama. The musical dialogue is on point as always. What impresses most is just how amazing Sacha Baron Cohen's performace truly is. This man has talent we are only just starting to see. If anything can make up for the sin of making Borat, this is it.

I put off watching this because I was afraid it would be sprawly and unfocused. I needn't have worried--from the first 5 minutes I knew I was in good hands. There's something almost comforting about writing as good as Sorkin's, and the actors rise to the occasion. As director, though... this could have benefited from a stronger visual sense, and perhaps some tighter editing.

In less partisan hands this could have been a powerful film, but what Sorkin has cooked up here is about as subtle as Triumph of The Will. Some of the odd casting choices are distracting, and the film is rife with truly cringeworthy attempts at emotional manipulation. For those who appreciate nuance you're out of luck, and any sympathy you may have for the defendants' plight will likely be negated by the doltish script, cartoonish characterzations and a practically unwatchable finale.

After noticing an eloquent but politically brain-broken reviewer seethe at this, I figured it'd be right up my alley. And, of course, I couldn't help but be amazed by the timing of the film's release. Though unfamiliar with the real-life events that it's based on, I found this to be an exhilarating watch, brilliantly paced and with excellent performances--the judge in particular is one of the most effectively understated villains I've seen in a long time. Inaccuracies aside, this is great.

Another nauseating outing from Sorkin. I find movies like this to be very ill-timed given the complete 180 paradigm shift of the last 50 years. The kind of people who were on trial in this movie are now in control of every institution in the West. The modern dissidents are all right-wing and they are currently being crushed by the kind of people who find this to be a masterpiece. I can only guess what Sorkin's opinion of the January 6th Capitol Hill protestors is. I doubt it is favorable.

At what's effectively the climax of the movie, Redmayne's Hayden and Cohen's Hoffman argue about social movement tactics' effectiveness. They reach no resolution, and do nothing to further the debate. If that uncertainty is the point of the movie (and I think it is), then its interesting characters can only elevate its lack of reflection so much.

All of the performances are ridiculously good! The editing, cinematography, and score are all on point. The screenplay on the other hand is kinda hit or miss. Much like the West Wing Sorkin displays a knack for writing amazing dialogue. However, unlike the West Wing, TTotC7 is not fiction, so the sweeping sentimentality can sometimes cloud what would otherwise be an outstanding movie. Overall I really like the film, but you just can't get away with that schmaltz when it muddies the facts.

Timely and noble effort from Sorkin successfully manages to marry old-school courtroom theatrics with a fascinating compare and contrast with the political violence/protests of 1968 with the BLM protests of 2020. Fired by an impeccable cast, highlighted by Cohen, Rylance and Langella (in full-on deliciously intractable mode), who sell Sorkin's inherent idealism - film might have been even better with (say) Fincher behind the camera, though Sorkin has developed and improved since MOLLY'S GAME.

This cast is complimented by a scrip which have them playing off each other instead of 2 people walking and monologuing at each other.

By far the least Sorkiny script Sorkin has ever written. Not to say I dislike Sorkinisms, or that he's often a bad writer for lapsing into his rapid, melodic dialogue—but rather, Chicago 7 benefits from his less pleased-with-himself, sober depiction of a hauntingly relevant moment in US history. One of the best of the year.

Sorkin sure can write, and he's not that bad at directing either. Times have indeed changed to match the script.

Sorkin can be hit or miss for many, so I'm sure this movie will not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me this is his strongest work since The Social Network. Really enjoyed it from start to finish, and that's a tall order for a film starring Eddie Redmayne.

I might have preferred The Trial of the Chicago 6, with Eddie Redmayne excised, but hey, everyone else was great. I'm becoming a real fan of Yahya Abdul-Mateen. I want to see this guy in way more projects. Snap him up, casting directors.

Sorkin does not seem to know or care about whether his material is cinematically dynamic or not; he is a writer first and director second. The dialogue and performances are fine, but it is conventionally made and plays like a typical Hollywood film only without an emotional payoff. Perhaps Spielberg was the right choice after all.

Quite good, Sorkin is a great writer and this film is just another in a long list of examples that showcases this fact. Good performances across the board and generally just well made. Its weakest point is the ending, but that is forgiven given the quality of the film as a whole.

Largely absorbing with some enjoyable performances (Abdul-Mateen, Rylance and Langella come off best). There's a corniness to the writing and the direction is sometimes leaden, but it mostly works... until the worst ending in recent memory is dumped on our heads, one that makes the final moments of Dead Poets Society seem edgy.

Sorkin delivers yet again. Writing wise he's a genius. Directorial wise he's got to learn to adjust pace.

This is a wrong project for Sorkin--a writer whose brand is that well-meaning, competent people can best run a society. But this story shows how that idea doesn't just fail, but can cause oppression. Here he has scenes that are far too idealistic, mawkish, and sentimental, when cynicism is called for. Good performances by Cohen & Redmayne show his directing skills are growing. Avoid this movie unless you're a high school history teacher looking for films to show students on your sick day.

Well, definitely Sorkins' directorial best. It is well acted and well directed. Not amazing but a good film. Although it is a bit dramatised for the screen, it is still a gripping story.

Addresses the zeitgeist of our times with the same fervor and focus as with TSN, shedding a light on themes of justice, racial equality and human dignity through a powerhouse court drama during which those matters were seemingly abandoned. On a side note, I was the ONLY person in attendance. I understand COVID is only further contributing to the rising dominance of streaming platforms, but movie theatres will soon become a relic of a time gone by if filmmakers don't get our support back.
