“Miss Sloane,” the new film by director John Madden, begins with a closeup of a woman staring into the camera and speaking in an intense near-whisper. “Lobbying is about foresight,” she says. “The winner plots one step ahead of the opposition and plays her trump card, just after they play theirs.”
Elizabeth Sloane, played by Jessica Chastain, is talking to her lawyer, preparing to be interrogated by senators looking for malfeasance among lobbyists. The lawyer tells her to answer any question about her job, or really anything else, by saying she respectfully declines to answer under her rights guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment.
