Molly's Game

After a major fall during a downhill run in this captivating, factually inspired, well-acted, star-studded (Jeremy Strong, Graham Greene, Chris O'Dowd, and C. MacKenzie), 140-minute, Aaron Sorkin film, ambitious, scoliosis-plagued, Olympic-caliber skier Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain), who was trained by her no-nonsense father (Kevin Costner), moves to Los Angeles twelve years later and finds herself in hot water and represented by a high-powered attorney (Idris Elba) when she is arrested by the FBI for running illegal, high-stakes poker games with an eclectic group of A-list players (Bill Camp, Michael Cera, Justin Kirk, Brian d'Arcy James, et al.).
