I will not be accepting comments when I say men should never be allowed to write or direct movies about women's sexual assault experiences and also that Bombshell is the worst movie of the decade.
There is a genuinely interesting film to be made about the Fox News sexual harassment scandal, one that would meaningfully engage with the way that women who willfully perpetuated Fox's misogynistic culture on TV had to contend with that misogyny when turned on him. That film would home in on this, both the narcissism of women willing to look the other way when it profited them and the fact that, nonetheless, no one deserves to be put through what they were. That film would confront the audience as much as the figures being profiled.
Of course, this is not that film. This film drives a clear wedge between the women who stand up to Roger Ailes and the ones who…
I have mixed feelings on how this film handles the "it's Fox News" of it all, but Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron are doing absolutely stunning work here and the final resolution of the film is perfectly sobering and honest in a way that I didn't expect it to be. Also, every (white) actor in Hollywood is in this film! Good on them.

For anyone who trashed Anchorman 2 and sent Adam McKay on his dark path of becoming the one true voice of activist filmmaking, this is for you. The epitome of slapdash, exploitative political posturing built to ultimately satisfy everyone. Embarrassed for all involved.

How does one review Bombshell?
It’s not a bad movie, per se. It’s not edited as badly as THE BIG SHORT, but unfortunately, it has the same writer. Jay Roach directed it with a touch of humor, but it’s far from farcical. Tonally, it was respectful of the women. In the Q&A, Jay Roach said he thought needed woman producers since the writer and director were male. They ended up getting plenty of women producers, however, perhaps the viewpoint needed to come from a woman instead of just a sympathetic male. That is not the only problem.
It’s about the predatory executive, Roger Ailes (John Lithgow), who helped to create Fox News.…
throughout all 108 minutes of this i thought nicole kidmans wig was going to take a life of its own and jump off her head and start attacking people like in resident evil 4 when you shoot the heads off the villagers but then those giant parasite things grow from the wound and swing around trying to decapitate you
Made too soon. Could’ve done without the The Office/Glee-esque zoom ins. I love so many in the cast and I’m disappointed. Mostly this just really made me want Ronan Farrow’s “Catch and Kill” to get adapted into a movie,,, in 10-20 years.
Great cast. It could have been a better film, nevertheless it's not bad and it is too important to simply dismiss it as flat.
the acting in this was really wonderful and the fact that this is a story is disgusting and we need to believe women. wow! i hate men! so much! and i hate fox news. both are spawns of the original sin. i love margot robbie a lot. ah dang. the execution of the story line was sometimes hard to follow but the fact that these women lived through this and shared their respective stories was incredible. ah!
It’s hard to comprehend how these horrible racist sexist men could also turn out to be horrible racist sexist men behind closed doors.
o filme é bom, amoo as atuações mas o contexto meu deus do ceu.... um filme feminista dirigido por um homem e aquela cena da personagem da margot robbie culpando a personagem da charlize theron meu deus que ODIO... tive que relevar o filme todo que eles sao tudo republicano fudido e que a personagem da charlize theron na vida real é racista, mas enfim!
da bastante raiva e é INACREDITAVEL que essa historia é real, e no fim os homens ainda ganharam mais dinheiro que TODAS as mulheres indenizadas >juntas< que inferno
You should never make anchors for Fox News the protagonists of your story.
