I happened to watch this right after Molly’s Game. This is the movie I was hoping Molly’s Game would be. Miss Sloane is fast-paced while still maintaining patience with the plot and character development. It has a razor sharp script, which can be hard to follow at times, yes, but is ultimately very satisfying when everything pays off. And above everything else, Jessica Chastain puts in a surprisingly incredible performance – possibly one of her best to date. Add to that a score by one of my favorite composers (Max Richter), and you’ve got a sneaky good film that ended up sliding under the radar.

4 out of 5 stars
