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.

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.

Rated: 3/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Raging rapids of shouted Second Amendment vitriol, media spin, dirty deeds, competing poisons, political traps, double crosses, and triple crosses flow to create the outrageous twists and turns of “Miss Sloane."

Rated: 4/5

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

If you want to see how lobbyist work in DC this film will gives you that and like House of Cards when the focus of the film is not on its main lead this film suffers. Worth a watch for newbies but is kinda forgettable compared to other better political thrillers.

Well, It's a power lobbyist fantasy chess match. Jessica's great, of course, but the whole thing is really contrived and somewhat laughably implausible. I didn't hate it but wouldn't keep it for my collection.

Miss Sloane is a sleek, intelligent political drama that thrives on its central performance. If you like your thrillers smart and cynical, it’s a must-watch.
