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.

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.

FOX News is bad!

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.

Besides being poorly edited and having a fourth wall break gimmick that doesnt go anywhere, the movie just doesnt have anything interesting to say. You know the whole spiel, if it tries to please everyone...

Two stars for the performances though.

Todo tipo de assédio é criminoso e só quem sofre isso, sabe o dilema que é, e o trauma que fica.

Neste filme, baseado em eventos reais, é um exemplo disso. Com quase 2 horas de duração, aqui ele poderia com facilidade ter se arriscado a ir mais fundo no escândalo e mostrar com mais realidade que as mulheres passaram trabalhando na Fox.

Caberia tranquilamente críticas sociais às pessoas que cometem assédios, e ao próprio Donald Trump. Mas com o roteiro raso e acuado, isso não foi tão possível de acontecer com tanta clareza.

O que salva são as atuações do trio que protagonizam esse filme: Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman e Margot Robbie. Somente através delas, que entregaram ótimas atuações, a ponto de ser convincente o suficiente pra você ter a empatia e a noção do que elas passaram.

THE TEA! IT BURNS! Gonna go respect and believe some women now!

I can see from the side of those who reject this film for being oversimplistic nonsense, and I wasn’t happy with the positivity/neutrality that Fox is framed with. But I still enjoyed it, and appreciated that women’s experiences with harassment had been given time on the big screen. While the levity of the film can be argued as not giving due weight and complexity to the subject matter, I disagree with this and was glad to watch a film that summarised a series of events I knew next to nothing about, without coming across as dark, heavy or contemplative.

This film is problematic in many ways, but I think its thoroughly worth watching, both in terms of style value as a snappy and well-acted story, and in terms of seeing an example of how womens’ sexual harrassment is being discussed and depicted in mainstream media right now.

True story, tough subject matter, actresses becoming lost in the roles fully taking it on and disappearing into these strong women.  All of them were amazing the casting of this film was spot on.  Charlize is Megyn Kelly.  I loved this movie and thought it was so necessary for the time it’s just a shame that bastard didn’t get taken down sooner.

Reminded me of The Big Short and Vice. Though The Big Short is a cut above both Vice and this. That said, this was very interesting with very good performances from Theron, Kidman, Robbie and Lithgow. My main takeaway from the film = FOX News is a vile and toxic Republican propaganda machine.

so unamused

So torn about my feelings on this, because I don’t really get the criticism. I enjoyed it and thought the subject matter was handled fairly sensitively. I thought Charlize, Nicole, Margot & Kate’s performances were great. 

My ex thinks everyone (liberals) hates it because they can’t accept the fact that it took right wing white women to tear down the wall of silence surrounding sexual assault. 

Note: I’m 100% liberal and don’t take issue with this at all, and also am not convinced that this is other’s issues either.
