Miss Sloane

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. (27/03/2017)

A typically cold corporate drama of high politics and lobbying. Unfortunately, it's filmed in a rather myopic and typically "cinematic" way, with a finale that doesn't correspond with the relatively realistic first half and the slightly tedious but still bearable second half. It is partly saved by Jessica Chastain, who, perhaps for the first time in her career, plays both a leading role and a villain, and enjoys it to the fullest. John Madden wants to build on the success of the likes of Michael Clayton, but on closer inspection you will find that there is no sophistication here. At least just average thanks to the main character's verbal wizardry. (06/05/2017)

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.

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.

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)
