About
If you like true-story legal drama mixed with fast, high-stakes poker action, Molly’s Game should hold your interest; Not for you if you dislike heavy narration or feel too much dialogue slows you down, or if you want car chases like in other thrillers.
Pros: fascinating true-story premise; gripping high-stakes tension; strong lead performance | Cons: heavy narration; brisk dialogue can overwhelm; some viewers find it overlong
