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%) (28/04/2022)

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. (28/03/2017)

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.

A brilliant conversation drama moving at such breakneck speed that will blow your mind right from the start. But even if you don’t really care about the issue of gun ownership in the US, there is another reason to watch this movie: the perfect performance of Jessica Chastain who is at her absolute best, so that the screenwriter and director don’t seem to be able to keep up with her. Her not getting an Oscar nomination for Best Actress is an insult in this case. However, as far as gun ownership is concerned, members of both camps will enjoy this movie because it’s not biased in favor of either side. It’s a pure drama full of dirty politics and lobbying with a distorted moral compass. A movie worth seeing. (30/12/2017)

A polished film with the amazing Jessica Chastain in an extremely believable role as a cunning careerist who probably just had a bit of a conscience stirred in her. Or has she? The main character prides herself on always being one or two steps ahead of everyone else (and of the viewer, as it happens), so there's no shortage of surprises, and although you might manage to predictsome twists in advance, you certainly won't guess all of them.
