• Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: This momentous cultural event from the end of the turbulent 60’s is apt to floor those unfamiliar with the case given the uncanny similarities with events today… The film features a dynamic, sprawling ensemble, one of the best of the year.
• [New] | Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
  • Excerpt: For better and for worse, all of Aaron Sorkin’s idiosyncrasies on full display. It is elegant, energetic, and entertaining, but I also found the film and its messaging to be hollow.
• [New] | Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
  • Excerpt: No argument that Aaron Sorkin is great at writing courtroom dramas, but the jury is still out on his skills as a director.
• [New] | Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
  • Excerpt: Even if a couple of the characters get short shrift, the film’s examination of the impact of protest is both fascinating and eerily timely.
• Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
  • Excerpt: It’s a project tailor-made for Aaron Sorkin [that] was surely catnip to write. No wonder its 129-minute runtime flies by like nothing.

  • Excerpt: ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ showcases both Aaron Sorkin’s great skill and his great shortcomings. Telling the true story of a rambunctious American kangaroo court trial, Sorkin’s script is as precise and laser-honed as one would expect but his developing skill as a director still keeps audiences arm’s reach from the emotional core of the material.
• [New] | Josh Taylor @ www.forgetfulfilmcritic.com
  • Excerpt: Aaron Sorkin’s sophomore effort in the director’s chair – after 2017’s Molly’s Game – is just as compelling, erudite, and masterful as his first. The Trial of the Chicago 7 is one of the best movies of the year so far.

• Sarah Boslaugh @ TheArtsSTL
  • Excerpt: Presenting both Steinem’s life and times in a single film thus presents particular challenges, but Julie Taymor and Sarah Ruhl are more than up to the challenge in The Glorias, an unconventional film that is part traditional biopic and part wild experiment, ticking off key events of Steinem’s life (even the adoption of her famous aviator glasses) while engaging in flights of fancy and mixing time periods so that the Glorias of different ages are able to interact with each other.
• Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
  • Excerpt: From the first frame we are put on notice that this will be a film in which the emotional truth of her life is given equal weight with the factual truths that, while, accurate, cannot hope to convey the same power
• Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: What can one say about a Gloria Steinem biopic in which she tap dances in a Black barbershop as a child or meets a cutesy couple of Harley enthusiasts in a diner who gush in admiration of her feminism? Corny, say I.
• RIch Cline @ Shadows on the Wall
  • Excerpt: Refreshingly, the script refuses to pull punches, facing big issues head-on while keeping the story personal
• [New] | Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
  • Excerpt: Though feels like a highlight reel at times, the movie never loses its focus and its powerful grip on the viewer’s emotions. Glorious.
• Josh Taylor @ www.forgetfulfilmcritic.com
  • Excerpt: Once we get to Steinem kicking the patriarchy’s ass – which began when she wrote an undercover piece about the awful working conditions of the “bunny” cocktail waitresses at New York’s Playboy Club in the 1960s – the movie sabotages its own momentum by doubling back to one of the less interesting segments.

• Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
  • Excerpt: Honest Thief is a dispiriting let down of what may have been something bordering on intriguing in favor of low-rent action trash and a complete of waste of Liam Neeson’s talents and our time.
• [New] | Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
  • Excerpt: A mediocre execution of a well-worn revenge formula.
