Jessica Chastain plays the iciest of D.C. lobbyists, somehow inspired to do the right thing (risk her career to fight the gun lobby) for the right reason. Well, the right big thing, built from a lot of ethically and morally wrong smaller things. It's kinda like The Sting, only without the ragtime.

The Wizard of Oz meets The Ark.A huge contribution from Lin-Manual Miranda makes the songs infinitely better than in most Disney flicks, in most flicks for kids, and in most movie musicals--and also makes you feel a sort of Hamilton vibe. Loved the flick, and honestly spent scarcely any time thinking about how girl-empowering, how anti-Disney princess, how--are we even allowed to use this word in the Trump era?--feminist it is; the look and the quest and the music pretty much pushed the politics to the background. Which makes this an exceptionally good political text.
Trailers
- The Smurfs: The Lost Village--Don't expect me to look for it.
- Rock Dog--The Jazz Singer redux, animated.
- Cars 3--At least I think that's what this ultrateasy teaser must have been for.
