Miss Sloane (2016)
8/10
Fantastic writing with only a little contrived ending
10 October 2021
I had never heard of this movie till a youtube channel recommended this in their list. What a gem of a movie! After a long time I saw a movie which had dialogues to remember, fast paced screenplay and a performance par excellence by Jessica Chastain. I am not American so the movie was a revelation of sorts on their political process. I give only 8 as the ending felt a little contrived. Sad it didn't get the attention it deserved when it was released and Jessica Chastain was not nominated for a Oscar. She lives the role, impossible to even imagine anyone else in the role. One thing that I kept waiting for , was the background on why Sloane is the way she is, the director kept hinting on a reveal which never comes. But thats fine, keeps the character ambiguous till the end. And its not liberals vs republicans etc, I didn't see them take sides.
