The true story of Molly Bloom, a beautiful, young, 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, unbeknown to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led people to believe.

Jessica Chastain shows us both her resolve and her vulnerability and the scene near the end with Kevin Costner as Bloom's father is one of the best of the year. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine 03/02/2018
Overall, the film comes across as robustly offering testimony for its subject rather than really offering a portrait; it rather presents itself as a character witness for a woman of more probity and principle than her chosen career would suggest. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 02/05/2018
3/5
Molly's Game is an entertaining and confident debut for Aaron Sorkin, even if it's definitely too long. Go to Full Review Colin Biggs Vague Visages 12/01/2023
For a film that prides itself on being based on a true story, Molly's Game often relies on moments that are too coincidental, too easy. Yet, there's nothing here to suggest that Sorkin won't eventually figure things out behind the camera. Go to Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine 01/11/2023
This is A-OK crowdpleasing fare: for uncomplicated entertainment, I doubt I’ll do better while here. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/24/2022
4.5/5
It’s one part invigorating character study and one part stunning expose. It features a trifecta of top-notch performances from Elba, Costner, and especially Chastain. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Yash S. @brownvista Feb 7 Very solid movie, little elongated but I liked the premise and knowing that it was based off a true story. Some parts were harder to follow but was a good watch! See more Steve O @olshewsky Dec 27 Underrated - has all the elements - compelling (true) story impeccably told. See more Tyler P. @TylerPhoenixMD Dec 21 Just stumbled across this movie, and it was great! You don’t need to know about poker to enjoy this. See more Chuck R. @Rocket621 Nov 25 Jessica Chastain shines as usual. See more keven q @kevenquinlan Oct 11 It's good. Jessica is always awesome and the story is true but I don't think I can keep for my collection. It IS worth a watch but I didn't love it as much as other people have seemed to. See more Stoner J @Stoner Sep 1 Entertaining but the speed talking dialogue is so annoying it’s unbelievable, Sorkin seems to do this in his movies as a trademark, undoes some of the good work for me. The camera did the same constant switching See more Read all reviews
