* HollywoodHealing: Subverted, [[spoiler: Molly is attacked by a mob enforcer and beaten up pretty badly. Going to the ER would attract police attention, and after cleaning up she says she waited several weeks in her apartment before her injuries and bruises faded enough that she could cover it up with makeup and go outside again]].

* {{Fanservice}}: Most of Molly's attire is quite revealing, a required part of the world she was involved in and discussed as part of the story (her first poker night she wore a modest $85 department store dress). This continued even after she stopped handling poker nights, at her arraignment Charlie even asks if she is trying to promote a "Creator/{{Cinemax}} version" of herself.
Added DiffLines:
* FreudWasRight: Discussed, along with a subversion of AllPsychologyIsFreudian and FreudianExcuse. Larry is a college psychologist and Molly starts a meaningless argument over Freud's worth as a psychologist. It quickly turns toward personal attacks about the difference between not liking men or not liking dicks. Near the end of the story Larry accuses her of having a stigma against being dominated by men, which he argues against, but he later confesses it was just to rile her up so that he could make his real point.

* ParentsAsPeople: Larry Bloom was [[StageMom hard on her]] and Molly was difficult in return, which was not helped by [[YourCheatingHeart Larry's affairs]]. They reconcile near the end of the story, as Larry confesses that she saw one of his earlier affairs before she understood what it meant and before it became known in the family, and that personal guilt made him act differently towards her.
Added DiffLines:
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: It's brought up that Molly was arrested by two dozen FBI agents armed with semi-automatic rifles for a comparatively benign crime. It was actually a negotiating tactic, make her terrified of the severity of the accusation and fold easier.

''Molly's Game'' is a 2017 {{crime drama}} written and directed by Creator/AaronSorkin (in his directorial debut), based on the memoir ''Molly's Game: From Hollywood's Elite to Wall Street's Billionaire Boys Club, My High-Stakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker'' by Molly Bloom.
It tells the true story of Molly Bloom (Creator/JessicaChastain), a ambitious woman whose life takes an unexpected turn after an injury forces her to retire from Olympic-level skiing -- namely, organizing [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame high-stakes poker]] games for the famous and wealthy.
Starting out modestly enough, the endeavor quickly grows in notoriety within the gambling community, ultimately leaving the game --and Molly herself-- at risk. When she's arrested by the [[UsefulNotes/AmericanLawEnforcement FBI]] for possible collusion with [[TheMafiya the Russian mob]], Molly seeks the legal counsel of Charlie Jaffey (Creator/IdrisElba) to get her out of trouble -- before it's too late.
Creator/KevinCostner and Creator/MichaelCera also appear in supporting roles, as Molly's father Larry and "Player X," respectively.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: While Molly was quite accomplished at a young age herself, both of her brothers eventually eclipsed her in their father's eyes -- as least, she seems to think so.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Molly and her father have an antagonist relationship, shown in both current-day scenes as well as flashbacks to her youth.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Molly gets quite a few of these moments toward her father.
* CareerEndingInjury: Molly's promising career as an Olympic-level skier is cut short when a freak accent on the mount renders her unable to ever compete again.
* CrazyPrepared: Despite never having played a game of poker in life, or even possessing any knowledge of the game or scene, Molly proves exceedingly prepared for her first night on the job.
* DescentIntoAddiction: The stressful nature of Molly's lifestyle turns her to a cocktail of drugs and substances.
* [[EducationMama Education Papa]]: Larry pushed Molly for greatness when she was growing up, and she recognizes this quality in Charlie towards his own daughter.
* FieryRedhead: Averted. Molly's demeanor is fairly demure, despite being ''very'' ambitious and self-sustaining.

* TheGamblingAddict: Many of Molly's clients fall under this trope. Molly herself is also addicted to the gambling scene, albeit as the one who organizes it rather than playing.

* GoodLawyersGoodClients: Despite being in hot water with the FBI, Molly is ultimately a decent person, and this compels Charlie to represent her in the case.
