[Film] The Trial of the Chicago 7: Netflix

Lenny Rider · Oct 17, 2020

Found it by chance last night.

I thought the Gentleman was the best film of the year, until now, superb, all star cast, based on a true story, 2hrs of cinematic quality.

It will win Oscars, if they have them next year

I'll give it a watch. I noticed that the reviews are very mixed. Some like you, believe it to be Oscar worthy, while the Independent and Rolling Stone are less impressed and only gave it 2 stars

It was only released yesterday, so "finding it by chance" was actually the premiere!

Probably watch it tonight, although

tempers the enthusiasm.

All down to opinions.

That was probably why it was the first thing on there yesterday

Even more amazing TV for me to catch up on, it’s going to take years.

It's an enjoyable couple of hours, I don't know if it's Oscar worthy but it's certainly worth a watch. Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Rylance and Frank Langella all put in great performances though.

Watched it yesterday, a superb film.

The 2 hours just fly by, as totally engrossing

Watched last night, we were engrossed and enjoyed it, Oscar quality not too sure.

Depends what it’s up against in this unprecedented year?

What astounded me was this was an actual trial that took place in the US 51 years ago, spoiler alert, the treatment of the Black Panther frankly beggars belief, I’ve looked it up and that incident wasn’t elaborated on for the movie

The US has clearly been broken for a long time.

Was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours at work earlier on, I've always liked Aaron Sorkin's work though so I'm not surprised I liked it.

Badger Boy · Oct 18, 2020

Aaron Sorkin is a genius, of course the film is a masterpiece. And to think he had to shop the film around for a taker late on. It's ridiculous, the moment Sorkin writes something there should be an auction for who has the honour of paying for it. The man is a genius and this film is another masterpiece.

I'm considering changing my name to Uncle Sorkin.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great cast and performances from everyone especially Rylance, Baron Cohen, Keaton, Redmayne and the guy who played the Judge. Good stuff.

Number 5 in the UK top ten.

Saw it in a real cinema and had the entire auditorium to myself. £8 very well spent.

Chicken Run · Oct 20, 2020

Just watched it, superb film, I was 7 days old on day 1 of that trial!

Tend to agree, Men of Honor was a true story and a great film!
