| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonA hugely gripping thriller about politics and money that offers a grim object lesson: Are progressives and liberals gonna have to start fighting dirty? |
| AwardsCircuit.comClayton DavisNimble in movements but nearly paralyzing in line delivery, the Oscar-nominated actress is unparalleled in her sheer excellence and commitment to the craft. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallChastain plows through this tangled scenario with an icy ferocity that's entertaining. You get the feeling that Miss Sloane would work better as a streaming or cable series, allowing more time to explore characters and issues, giving actors more room for dense dialogue. Maybe come up with a better way out of that corner. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattChastain fully commits to her boss-bitch persona, even if we only obliquely learn why she might have chosen such a lonely, mercenary life. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThis is a movie that moves fast. It challenges the audience to keep up because the main character is a person who is always one step ahead of everybody else. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePiers MarchantSmartly, the screenplay by Jonathan Perera, making his cinematic debut, doesn't let the audience off the hook for their convictions (at least until the film's too neat final gambit). |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamWe don't need to like her, but Chastain makes us understand and even sympathize with her, ruthless and cunning though she may be. It's remarkable work. |
| HaaretzUri Klein[Jessica Chastain's] interpretation of the Elizabeth Sloane character blends well into the film's attempt to portray a realm of moral ambiguity. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThe movie shares with other mainstream political dramas an easy notion of Washington as a hopeless cesspool of sellouts, paybacks, and heinous personal betrayals. |
| Fresh FictionCourtney HowardMadden gives us a heroine, maybe not to emulate, but to fete with Miss Sloane, the greatest movie Aaron Sorkin never wrote. |
