Miss Sloane

The ending is a bit far-fetched (no predatory lobbyist would have vacated her position so easily, realizing the immorality of her lifestyle), but otherwise it is a decent and quite believable drama from behind the political scenes. Not to mention that the right to own a gun is one of the issues that resonates strongly in today's society. Elizabeth Sloane has got this downright masculine environment under her thumb, and Jessica Chastain lent her face to it, playing the demanding role perfectly. (75%) (04/28/2022)

Miss Sloane has exactly what the similar Molly’s Game lacked – a more in-depth character study of the protagonist, including her private life. And Jessica’s acting performance deserves a deeper character focus! The lobbying and politics here may not appeal to everyone, but I personally find the controversial issue of guns in the US interesting (I’m for gun control) and this film offers a great insight into it.

Jessica Chastain is a great actress, and Miss Sloane definitely relies on that. It's her who grabs the most attention, actually in all her roles. There are other excellent actors, even some legends, but it's her who shines. It's a pity that the script, which in the end is just a fairy tale, failed to shine similarly. (03/27/2017)

It is true that in terms of subject-matter Miss Sloane isn’t the simplest movie to watch and it might happen several times that the viewer has no idea what exactly is going on in the film. Jessica Chastain identified so perfectly with her role that she applies her Eurovision of the American Dollar so perfectly and as a lobbyist she is putting in double the effort. The result is that you are watching her with your mouth open, you don’t understand half the stuff that’s going on and about the other half you keep thinking how cool she is that she’s coping with all those things as if it was nothing at all. She’s only human after all. And what she does at the end – that’s only for strong characters. Not only does she whip out a stellar monologue about “Now”, she also shows everybody what a great actress she is and how moch she identified with her role. It’s so good that it made for the strongest movie experience I have had in a while. She’s great, I like her and in this film she showed what an amazing actress she is. Miss Sloane is no simple film, but if you get into it, you will get an amazing ending from the world where dreams are made. (05/10/2017)

One of those films I have nothing negative to say about. Jessica Chastain may not be one of my favorite actresses, but she was simply fantastic. I've never seen such a great mixture of indifference, cynicism, and intrigue. I didn’t just enjoy it, I downright reveled in it. A great experience for me and I will definitely watch it again.
