MOLLY\u2019S GAME
\nSTXfilms
\nDirector: Aaron Sorkin
\nWritten by: Aaron Sorkin based on the book \u201cMolly\u2019s Game\u201d
\nCast: Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, Michael Cera, Jeremy Strong, Chris O\u2019Dowd, Bill Camp
\nScreened at: Review 1, NYC, 11\/9\/17
\nOpens: December 25, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMolly\u2019s Game\u201d is written and directed by Aaron Sorkin<\/a>, whose accomplishments include writing screenplays about organizations (\u201cThe Social Network\u201d about Facebook\u2019s founder Mark Zuckerberg and \u201cSteve Jobs\u201d from Apple Computers). In his directing debut now, his movie can be summarized as one about Molly Bloom, who ran the world\u2019s most exclusive high-stakes poker game.\u201d As played by the remarkable Jessica Chastain<\/a> (\u201cMiss Sloane,\u201d \u201cMiss Julie,\u201d), the title character is about as elitist as a woman can get. Nowadays, Trump supporters consider anyone who sips Chardonnay in Manhattan or chooses latt\u00e9 as her breakfast beverage is elite. \u201cElitist\u201d is considered a pejorative, a condemnation of people who think they are better than the rest of us. But let\u2019s face it: we are not all equal. Folks who have brains, use them daily, graduate summa cum laude from top colleges and go on to contribute all the great discoveries and know-how to a technological civilization–really are better.<\/p>\n

What Molly Bloom<\/a> contributes, given her background which includes a 3.92 average in college and an acceptance to law school, is money for herself and a place for people of great wealth and celebrity to play cards. That\u2019s a strange idea, since after, does Nathan Detroit in the musical \u201cGuys and Dolls,\u201d make a great living by simply providing card sharps with a garage for their game? The more I watch this film, the more I wonder why the millionaire moguls and Hollywood hotties don\u2019t just get together with one another and decide a place for their weekly game instead of paying Molly $250,000 as simply a cover charge for the Hotel Plaza or other spots including one hotel that charges $5200 a night.<\/p>\n

Despite its length of two hours and ten minutes, the story rolls by so fast, the narration by the principal character so literate, the facts so detailed, that you won\u2019t have time to check your watch. This is a movie whose writing can be lyrical, patter of the screenplay so quick, and the performances so deft, that is obviously one of the films to look for during awards ceremonies\u2014including potential nominations for Jessica Chastain as actress and Idris Elba as supporting actor.<\/p>\n

The true story, depending on how much you believe of Molly Bloom\u2019s own book by the same name, is both a fascinating look at what the beautiful people do with their spare time and the ways that Molly is a one-in-a-million personality. Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain) spent her early life pushed by her father (Kevin Costner) to be the best at whatever she does, and what she does is become a world-famous skier of Olympic quality. We watch as she descends a 52-degree snow-packed mountain, does flips like an Olympic swimmer making points off the divine board, but in one fateful turn falls and is knocked unconscious, later requiring spine surgery and the end of her skiing career. She is hired to run a high-stakes weekly poker game, and together with other beautiful women encourages the men around the tables to meet regularly. These are no penny-ante games but sometimes single hands that can run up to three million dollars.<\/p>\n

Sorkin wants us to be familiar with what these celebs do, so he brings us into the hotel rooms, and though not setting up any suspense about winners and losers, impresses us with their determination to get together which is so strong that they have no problem dishing out $250,000 to enter. When she is arrested for running illegal gambling, she hires Charlie Jaffey as her attorney, a man so talented in his field that he is able to charge a retainer fee of $250,000. Arrested by 17 agents of the FBI ready to break down her door, she is asked by the government to name the names of the people she has dealt with and encouraged to do so by her lawyer to avoid prison. What she does becomes one of the suspenseful aspects of the story.<\/p>\n

Look especially for the type of person Jessica Chastain embodies. Her father, who is a practicing psychotherapist, is aware that her prized daughter appears to be unemotional, cold, someone who has admitted that she has no heroes and does not trust people. Though a couple of men come on to her, particularly an often-drunk Irishman played by Chris O\u2019Dowd who is sure that the woman is Irish given her name and his knowledge of James Joyce\u2019s \u201cUlysses.\u201d She is not.
\nIronically considering Molly\u2019s image as a woman with no romance in her life, this breathlessly-paced movie is full of passion.<\/p>\n

Unrated. 140 minutes. \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online
