Our suggestions
The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target.
"Jessica Chastain in the role of a woman who risked it all - literally - by organizing exclusive poker games for people with extremely high purchasing power. Based on the life of Molly Bloom, a former skier who became a millionaire and famous when she got involved with gambling. Chastain is amazing in the character - so much so that she was nominated for a 2018 Golden Globe for her performance. The film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, the same year, for being inspired by Molly Bloom's book. 'The Big Gamble' is very well built, has a good cast - besides Jessica Chastain, there is Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, Chris O'Dowd -, rhythm and also an engaging plot."
