Critics Consensus

Miss Sloane sits squarely on the shoulders of Jessica Chastain's performance -- and she responds with awards-worthy work that single-handedly elevates the film.

Weighty Connected L

Concerning the technical aspects, this 2016 film is top notch—fast-paced story, crisp writing, and excellent performances esp. by Jessica Chastain, who has carried the film on her shoulders. Nevertheless the issue that it addresses—gun rights, which is a very important one—isn’t presented with nuance. Clearly it champions gun control, but it demonizes those who support gun rights as the dirty ones, the rich ones, the powerful ones, and their side as the principled, the powerless. (I may argue that in the real world, it’s the other way around.) The world, or let’s say the United States, even on this single issue, is more nuanced and more complex than that. This reality makes this film a wasted opportunity.

A formidable presence on camera, Jessica Chastain shows that she knows how to embody a good character. Very well balanced film, with very firm and winning dialogues, and a perfect plot twist!

She meant to be defeated to win, in front of those old guys, with unexpected help from a young guy, who should be anonymous.

Really good performances, particularly from Chastain! Beautiful to look at, and I like the pacing of the film. The message and motivation for the MC is really murky and doesn't really get resolved at the end. Worth watching! 3.5 stars

It was difficult to cheer for Miss Sloane as the heroine. She was completely unlikable and smug. Very heavy handed view of lobbyists and government legislators. Would not recommend this movie. Chastain has performed better in many more movies.

This is what I'm talking about: a female-driven drama about the gun lobby starring Jessica Chastain in full flame.

All we learn from Miss Sloane is what we already knew: D.C. is debased, but Hollywood is obtuse, and this country needs a better class of political fantasy.

Miss Sloane has a narrative momentum that is hard to wholly resist. It's absurd. But it's never boring.

Jessica Chastain's commanding performance is a chilling indictment of capital corruption. This is flamboyant fiction that mirrors fact.
