Molly's Game - 9/10
Im struggling not giving this a 10. I tend to feel that a 10 is either a film that fundamentally changes the way you think or dramatically influences in a permanent way or it pushes a genre so far forward that everything that follows will have to take it into account in perpetuity and this i dont think reaches that height...but its as close to a 10 as a 9 could hope to be.
Aaron Sorkin has always been a writer the writes how i think. Fast and as precise as he can muster. As a director he's just as lean. There's not a second of this film that I'd say needed to be edited down.
Also Kevin Costner and Iris Elba give unforgettable performances. Outstanding film.
