A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Miss Sloane (1 Viewer)

I've never been one to shy away from disagreeing with critics, and this is one of those times.

John Madden's (Shakespeare in Love) film about a DC lobbyist may have felt the angst, frustration and disapproval of the long 2016 election, and arriving almost day and date with the final vote, it may have been a topic many didn't wish to consider.

I screened it last night, and it's a solid entertainment, from screenplay to cinematography and editing, to performances.

It's an intelligent film, that always seems to be one step ahead of the viewer, so you'll have to watch carefully, and take in every detail.

It's the perfect candidate for Blu-ray and 4k, as at least a second viewing will be essential.

If you can catch it in theaters, it's well worth your time.

Watching Jessica Chastain, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Stuhlbarg, Alison Pill, Sam Waterston and John Lithgow do their things is a rare treat.

I agree! I saw an advance screening theatrically and later received a screener in the mail too. Marvelous film anchored by a superb performance by the wonderful Jessica Chastain. I'm on an awards nominating committee this year and this has been a marvelous year for actresses. Alas, with only 5 slots it's going to kill me to leave Chastain off.

This film has a two of my favorite actresses in it with Chastain and Mbatha-Raw so I'll be seeing it this weekend.

Other than Chastain, I didn't know that those other wonderful actors were in this movie. I plan on seeing this tomorrow.

Man, I loved this film. Chastain's character in this film is probably one of my favorites for her intelligence and her character faults. This was a role that Barbara Stanwyck or Bette Davis from yesteryear would have ate up.

I quite enjoyed it. The cast is, unsurprisingly, excellent and Jessica Chastain is going to win an Oscar at some point. It probably won't be this year (though I think she's got a chance at a nomination for this movie) but it'll happen eventually.

Unfortunately, this film isn't doing well at the box office.

I don't think the Tango backlash toward her is going to help her any this awards season. Yes, yes I know these decisions should be decided on merit and nothing else but as we all know, that's not always the case.

I absolutely loved this movie.

Was the hero gunner who killed the other one, a plant?
