The Trial of the Chicago 7, directed and written by Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, Moneyball, The West Wing) is based on the infamous 1969 trial of seven defendants charged by the federal government with conspiracy and more, arising from the countercultural protests in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The trial transfixed the nation and sparked a conversation about mayhem intended to undermine the U.S. government.
So let’s get the obvious description out of the way first: timely. The Trial of the Chicago 7 is vividly aware of its status as a positive and affirming story of a cadre of people on trial for conspiracy against the federal government, in the context of a cultural moment where America is wrestling with the meaning and ramification of a whole different attack on the government. It takes some liberties with history, of course, to tell the story it wants to. But Sorkin’s razor-sharp writing, and performances from a stellar cast (Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, John Carroll Lynch, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Keaton, Frank Langella and believe or not, others), elevate it from just-so story to an inspirational and aspirational chronicle of a dangerous time.

ON THE BIG SCREEN
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is a celebration of three real-life Black artists and legends. There’s the blues singer, often referred to as the “Mother of the Blues,” whose name and song give the film its title. There’s the author August Wilson who, inspired by Rainey and the era she found fame in, crafted his 1982 play around her larger-than-life persona. And there’s Chadwick Boseman, taken from us way too soon, who chose this difficult material to play while living with cancer. We’ll never know if Boseman knew this would be his swan song, but the fact that it is haunts the viewer and is inextricable from any experience of the film. The fact that it may be the best performance of his tragically short career doesn’t make it any easier.
George C. Wolfe's dynamic film adaptation of August Wilson's play cares about much more than just Ma's big, brassy, bluesy voice. A fictional account of a day in the life of Rainey, who was known for her bawdy lyricism and bold personality, this is a reclamation of Black music and culture as told through an array of distinct characters, crackling dialogue and sharp filmmaking.
