Molly's Game
トーク情報- jikoshiisu
jikoshiisu review - Molly Bloom is a world-class mogul skier with Olympic aspirations, the result of years of enforced training from her overbearing father. In a qualifying event for the 2002 Winter Olympics, she is severely injured, ending her career. Instead of following her original plan of attending law school, Molly decides to take a year off and move to Los Angeles. Once she arrives, she becomes a bottle service waitress at a club, where she meets Dean, an ostentatious but unsuccessful real estate developer. She becomes his office manager, and he soon involves her in running his underground poker games. Many famous and wealthy individuals, such as movie stars, investment bankers, and sports players, are involved in Dean's game. Molly earns large sums of money on tips alone.

jikoshiisu I make no apology for cribbing the last words of James Joyce's Ulyses, words spoken by Molly Bloom, wife of the protagonist Leopold Bloom. This is a fine effort featuring three fine performances from the eponymous Molly (Jessica Chastain) her father, Kevin Costner, and her lawyer, Idris Elba. I'm not familiar with the book which means I have no way of knowing how faithful the film is to it but judging it simply as a film it is a gripping story which holds the attention throughout. Screenplays involving sport and/or games are problematical but when they come off they come off in spades whether fact - The Pride Of The Yankees - or fiction - The Husler, and Molly's Game can now take its place on the pantheon.

jikoshiisu You could easily read about the ending before or read Molly's book. But if you go into this movie blind, you will be gripped. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for a second. Wonderful performances all around. For Aaron Sorkin's directorial debut, I couldn't have imagined a better movie.

jikoshiisu This Bio Pic about Molly Bloom is like A Great Blues Band in Rhythm. Tight. The story unfolds quite nicely led by Jessica Chastain Cast and Crew. If you like Legal and Court Room Dramas, POKER, with a little FBI and 1960's Backdrop, it is a Must See. Graham Greene plays the Judge. Kinda surprised Kevin Costner was not up for some awards as Molly's Dad.
