	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A dense, dynamic, compulsively entertaining affair, whose central role makes stunning use of Chastain’s stratospheric talent."	POS
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"A snappy, smart thriller, anchored by a masterful Chastain (...) 'Molly’s Game' has a seriousness at its heart, a sincere admiration for Bloom’s gifted resourcefulness."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"In his overdue directorial debut, Sorkin both entertains and makes you lean in to absorb every detail of this wild tale, which boasts a stellar cast to help tell it."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Arguably the first great poker film ever made (...) Sorkin is a natural behind the camera, and his direction is a lot like his writing: Fast, precise, and often just a tiny bit too blunt"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Ferociously eloquent, densely packed with ideas, immensely entertaining (...) The scenes that Chastain and Elba share are enormously enjoyable"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Sorkin is spellbound by his subject (...) but the magic he clearly feels fails to translate on screen (...) As a director, Sorkin is competent but uneven (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"Sorkin’s swordsman-like pen continually keeps the picture engaging; his knack for one-liners and absurd dialogue detail remains finely attuned"	POS
