Blu B A Political Character Drama Classic. The acting is phenominal across the board. Filled with witty and sharp dialouge that is powered by Chastain's incredible performance. One of the strongest I have ever seen from her if not the most. Everyone else is really good but she just dominates. The music is solid but really needed o be a bit more catchy perhaps and can blend quite often but it's used well overall. Everything else is really good. The direction is really strong with stellar performances and great framing/camerawork. This is a political story about the battle for a gun bill and the personal drama of a woman at the center of it. It does a very good job mergin Sloane's story with the political background battle going on. Where this struggles (I use that term lightly because it does a remarkable job overall) is that this can get VERY VERY bogged down in the weeds of political lobbying. Rules, procedures, following multiple senators plots and where the vote stands on top of Sloane's character is almost impossible to remember every single detail this throws at you. It throws SOOOOO much at you so quickly it's difficult to retain. At 40 minutes in I thought we must've been WELL over halfway because of just how much this had thrown in the unfolding battle. Shocked the crap out of me we weren't even close to halfway. It's not boring at all and it's riveting to watch a trainwreck of a person unfold while learning the inner workings of lobbying. This defintely expects you to know a thing or two about lobbying already before going into it though. If your not into politics already this defintely isn't the best film to start with to learn. If you are a fan of any actors in this, the director, political movies or interesting character studies this is something to check out. This isn't for everyone though as good as this is.

(Watching 8 years later it was nice to see Jake Lacy & Alison Pill, stars from White Lotus (money, class, & greed) and Picard (loss of all freedom to jingoist autocracy) Venn diagram overlap is the US political body.) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Evan K One of my favorite movies of all time Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Joe C First, Jessica Chastain's performance is, as usual, beyond reproach. Strong and Lithgow ably render what is required of their one-note characters. Unfortunately, Stuhlbarg, who can make any role come to life, no matter how low-budget the production or how poorly written, is limited to shouting obscenities and threats, a half-note character. It all comes down to the writing. The plot and setting are interesting enough, but the dialogue (mostly monologue, actually) is high-velocity, dense verbiage that might impress the viewer if he had time to follow the thoughts. Sorkin on steroids. Better luck next time, Skippy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review James P This movie surpassed expectations being extremely well written directed and acted - Jessica Chastain delivers a masterful performance punctuated by the last scene leaving a correctional facility - Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
