Leave your thoughts about Molly's Game.
| Film Journal InternationalShirley SealyRiveting. Breathless. Intellectually exhilarating. |
| New StatesmanRyan GilbeyFew screenwriters are quite so in love with their own prose as Sorkin; on and on it goes, faster than the speed of screwball but with none of the wit. Molly's Game is his directing debut but he's a dead loss. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFew actors on the planet can shift gears as effortlessly as Chastain, who perfectly captures Molly’s chameleon-like ability to adapt to situations and to rationalize her worst behavior. |
| Deadline Hollywood DailyPete HammondJessica Chastain in her best performance to date powers Aaron Sorkin's sensational directorial debut. |
| The SpectatorDeborah RossThere's no nuance, no reflective downtime, and it ends with what may be the worst cod-psychology scene of all time. It all comes down to daddy issues, apparently. Oh, boo-hoo. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherWhat makes Molly's Game more than an entertaining, if enjoyably familiar big-screen Sorkin-fest (whip-smart characters spouting rapid-fire dialogue while slyly revealing personality traits) is that it's a profoundly emotional film. |
| We Live EntertainmentAshley MenzelAaron Sorkin's directorial debut is a triumph. |
| HeyUGuysLinda MarricA storming directorial debut from Sorkin, whose impeccable cast and thrilling narrative make this an instant classic. |
| Radio TimesTerry StauntonIt's a role that demands a wise head, a combative streak, precision comic timing and an occasional air of vulnerability. Chastain nails every single requirement with ease. She'd make a great poker player. |
| Digital SpyRosie FletcherIt's no surprise that Molly's Game is snappy, stylish and slick, but against the odds it's also incredibly emotional and fiercely feminist. |
