The latest about 'Molly's Game' in theaters...

Molly’s Game is fine, but the stakes feel pretty low By Norman Wilner December 13, 2017 Excerpt: Chastain makes speeches. Elba makes speeches. Kevin Costner, who plays Molly’s demanding father, has a really good one toward the end.    https://nowtoronto.com/movies/reviews/molly-s-game-jessica-chastain-molly-bloom/

‘Molly’s Game’ Review: Jessica Chastain Powers Aaron Sorkin’s Sensational Directorial Debut by Pete Hammond December 15, 2017 Excerpt: Her scenes opposite an equally fine Elba as her lawyer are high drama at its finest. The pair both deserve Oscar nominations, and I would throw in another one for Costner in the smaller supporting turn as her father, particularly for a killer park bench scene with his daughter near the end.

3 Movies To See Before 2018 By Ben Dickinson December 19, 2017 Molly's Game: Scriptwriting maestro Aaron Sorkin’s vertiginous directorial debut about high-stakes poker, Molly’s Game, gives Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba volleys of dialogue that showcase their trademark brilliance in a tale that, while not letting us in on the title character’s closest secrets, is a ping-ponging thrill ride supported by the likes of Michael Cera, Bill Camp, Kevin Costner, and Chris O’Dowd.    http://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a14463983/trust-us-movies-december-2017/

Aaron Sorkin’s Powerful Bar Mitzvah Speech by Shmuley Boteach December 19, 2017 Excerpt: Her father, played by Kevin Costner — whom she hasn’t seen in years — appears suddenly in New York. A renowned psychologist, he offers to provide years of therapy in just a few minutes. Following some lighthearted rumination, he gets to the point. He asks his daughter how she, the brilliant and promising overachiever, had been brought to such desolation. His answer, in my opinion, is the moment for which this film will be forever remembered. Because,” he says, “you hit a twig.”    https://www.algemeiner.com/2017/12/19/aaron-sorkins-powerful-bar-mitzvah-speech/

Molly’s Game Review: Jessica Chastain Commands Your Attention by Jeremy Konrad December 22, 2017 Excerpt: The rest of the cast is just as strong, with Kevin Costner doing excellent work as Molly’s father.

Review: Jessica Chastain rescues ‘Molly’s Game’ by Bill Goodykoontz, USA TODAY NETWORK December 23, 2017 Excerpt: Her father (a really good Kevin Costner, so much more valuable these days in supporting roles than as the leading man) was punishingly tough on her

‘Molly’s Game’ Review: Jessica Chastain Is ‘Ferocious’ As the Ultimate Card Shark By Mara Reinstein December 25, 2017 Excerpt: An end scene with Costner also felt shoe-horned and out of character. Still . . . men near me were crying.    https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/mollys-game-review-go-all-in-on-jessica-chastains-rollicking-true-life-drama/

‘Molly’s Game’ By Andy Ray December 26, 2017 Excerpt: Kevin Costner is excellent as Molly’s equally brilliant father, whose expectations of Molly were through the roof. As a young student, he would assign her additional work – not so much because he knew she could handle it, but because his desire was to broaden her knowledge. Of absolutely everything. As an Olympic skier, he expected her to win. Every single time.

Molly's Game Review #2: This High Stakes Drama Is a Safe Bet By Ryan Scott December 26, 2017 Excerpt There's also a nice role for Kevin Costner in here as Molly's demanding and complicated father. It's nice to see him in a good movie again.    https://movieweb.com/mollys-game-movie-review-2/

REVIEW: Molly’s Game By Eric Hillis December 26, 2017 Excerpt: Daddy issues relating to her demanding father (Kevin Costner, great in his few scenes).    https://www.newjerseystage.com/articles/getarticle.php?titlelink=review-mollys-game

As character studies and poker tales go, ‘Molly’s Game’ the real deal By Richard Roeper December 26, 2017 Excerpt: Costner has a let’s-lay-our-cards-on-the-table moment with Chastain that is pure Sorkin in that we all wish we could talk with such rapid-fire clarity. It’s so theatrical we should be holding a copy of Playbill in our hands as we watch the two of them parry with one another — but it also results in some of the best pure acting Costner has ever done.    https://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/as-character-studies-and-poker-tales-go-mollys-game-the-real-deal/

KeithRyanCartwright @ProfessorKRC Retweeted Scott Feinberg: The story & dialog were great, especially knowing it was mostly true. That scene at the end, w/ Jessica Chastain & Kevin Costner, is the payoff I didn't know I was waiting for (until it happened). I hate admitting it, but I cried. I didn't even need a court resolution after that. (Posted December 29th)
