Synopsis
MOLLY’S GAME is based on the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.

Leticia FernandesSep 9, 2017Every movie that Aaron Sorkin has written since the turn of the 21st Century has been about a real person. On the other hand, it might be more accurate to say that none of the movies that Aaron Sorkin has written since the turn of the 21st Century have been about a real…

MarianSep 9, 2017The directorial debut of screenwriting auteur Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, Moneyball), based on the best-selling tell-all of the Poker Princess Molly Bloom, is sort of like a Scorsese gangster picture just with none of the visual wit or interest in character…

I love poker
MamaKizzle lovedMolly's GameMolly’s Game is one of those movies that feels like it’s running on pure intelligence, nerve, and caffeine. Aaron Sorkin’s writing is, unsurprisingly, razor-sharp and relentless and full of the kind of machine gun dialogue that could collapse in the wrong hands but instead becomes the movie’s…

Even though it was a biography there were a few elements that made it appear meta. I.e. Talking about making a movie about her in a movie about her. It was quite enjoyable and I can say I learned a decent amount from this film. I wish it went a little deeper into how she settled.
Sophie lovedMolly's Gameawesome. yes, it's over-exaggerated with some real pretentious dialogues & massive daddy issues. but it keeps you hooked, not because of the characters but because of the story, cause damn i just wanted to know how the hell did we get here. also, lots of pretty fancy clothes ;)

Jens Bak lovedMolly's GameAaron Sorkin's directorial debut is a solid, entertaining entry from 2017. His script is full of his trademark rapid-fire dialogue and keeps the film moving at a brisk pace. A fast, excellently written and well-cast film. Jessica Chastain plays outstandingly well

At a certain point, everyone watching Molly’s Game will form the question, “Why should I care about any of this?” It’s a question Sorkin should have anticipated. He has no good answer.

When Sorkin does go off on side episodes, they’re for the greater good. Molly’s dealings with a nihilistic and smarmy A-list movie star (Michael Cera), a gambler (Bill Camp) who loses his cool, and the drunk Irishman (Chris O‘Dowd) responsible for pulling the Russian mafia into her games actually boost the overall narrative rather than cannibalize it.

No one knew Mr. Sorkin was a good director, but he is, and his filmmaking chops come topped with intelligence and curiosity. That makes it all the more remarkable, and I don’t mean good remarkable, when the film takes a last-reel turn into slushy psycho-sappiness, enlisting someone we thought we’d seen the last of to explain what the story was really about.
