Bombshell

By failing to contextualize their race and class, Bombshell overlooks how complicated the real women who ousted Roger Ailes are.

Bombshell doubles down on the myth that victims must be perfect to be considered victims.

This superbly acted Faustian tale may inhabit the world of white privilege but it is terrific at unpicking the workplace sexism millions of ordinary women face every day.

It's Bombshell's modus operandi that female leads are continually explaining things to men, but the women-only interactions are the strongest - epitomised by a moment when Gretchen, Megyn and Kayla silently share the same lift.

It's this element of recoil from total sympathy with these harassed women that makes the film intriguing though.

Bombshell is a fine enough movie, one that's entertaining and well-paced when you're watching it but forgettable as soon as you leave the theatre.

Bombshell is a good film, and it tells a story worth telling. [But] I’m not convinced that Roach was the director to handle this type of material...

The ensemble lifts this somewhat flat and tonally uneven movie. [Full review in Spanish]

Shines a spotlight on a horrible but important true story but the film never truly manages to reach the same level as the three terrific lead actresses.

It’s true that the star-studded Bombshell could have gone further in its critique...at the center of its tale about redemption for survivors of sexual assault. But the film does succeed at painting Roger Ailes as the gross, abusive CEO he’s always been.
