Aaron Sorkin's Molly's Game dazzles with rapid-fire dialogue and taut drama. This biographical movie about the life of Molly Bloom, who had organized high-stakes poker games, was a treat with Jessica Chastain's performance. The knack of Sorkin for razor-sharp storytelling made him the second one in line after Best Adapted Screenplay nominations in Oscar nominations. The film balances its character-driven drama with some of Sorkin's signature wit, establishing him not only as a skilled writer but also as one who can direct scenes to create compelling and smart narratives.
