The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)

Hollywood's uber-writer Aaron Sorkin continues his well worn migration to directing (after the underappreciated yet not quite there, Molly's Game) with this timely, polemical and fascinating story of Nixon's show trial to punish the counter culture. Mark Rylance, Eddie Redmane and most shockingly Sascha Baron Cohen (by far the star of the show) shine. A really, really good film that perhaps falls just shy of outright greatness by dipping its toe into Ron Howard/Spielberg pat worthiness and awards chasing towards the end. Still a must see.
