Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticWith more than two dozen movies releasing a week — the vast majority of them still straight to streaming — we’re narrowing the focus of our curation somewhat, spotlighting those of sufficiently high profile or merit.Audiences could hardly hope for a more exciting or timely option than “The Trial of the Chicago 7” from “The West Wing’s” Aaron Sorkin, who’s taken audiences to court before (he wrote “A Few Good Men”). The trial may have been a case of late-’60s political theater, as the U.S.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIt’s a curious thing that in the movie culture of the last 50 years, you can count on one hand (or maybe one middle finger) the good dramas that have been made about the political counterculture of the 1960s. The turbulence of that era has never stopped casting a shadow over our own.

Abbie Hoffman (Sacha Baron Cohen), Jerry Rubin (Jeremy Strong), Tommy Hayden (Eddie Redmayne), Rennie Davis (Alex Sharp), David Dellinger (John Carroll Lynch), John Froines (Daniel Flaherty), and Lee Weiner (Noah Robbins) were the Chicago 7. Along with Bobby Seale (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), co-founded the Black Panther Party, these eight men captivated America from 1969-70 while on trial for inciting a riot during the 1968 Democratic National Convention — a bloody protest witnessing the Chicago Police Department viciously beating unarmed demonstrators, which culminated in Mayor Daley instituting his infamous shoot to kill order.

The history behind the upcoming film, “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” doesn’t just include the actual historic events that inspired Aaron Sorkin’s upcoming Netflix film. That drama is crazy enough, of course, but the behind-the-scenes hurdles that Sorkin had to jump to bring the film to fruition more than a decade after he originally began work on it is already legendary.

Despite studios moving films such as Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” remake out of the calendar year and questions about whether some films will actually hit theaters, there are still new Oscar contenders being revealed for critics and AMPAS members alike. Over the past 48 hours, Netflix virtually screened Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” for select media, and A24 and Apple debuted Sofia Coppola’s “On the Rocks” at the 2020 New York Film Festival.

This film is written and directed by Aaron Sorkin and is based on the infamous 1969 trial that transfixed the US. Seven defendants were charged by the federal government with conspiracy (and more), following the countercultural protests in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.With the BLM movement and upcoming presidential election, it’s an extremely timely release for the film.
