Bombshell (2019)




Plot: The story of the rampant sexual harassment at Fox News.

Review: An important, contemporary story told in the style of Vice and The Big Short, though, given the subject matter, Bombshell is much less buffoonish and much more sinister than its recent counterparts...In no small part because the women who were harassed signed non-disclosure (somehow, wickedly, actually called 'muzzle') agreements as part of their settlement with Rogier Ailes & co, so it's difficult to know the full extent of the depravity... It was very easy to leave the theater with Matt Schwimmer-levels of disdain for Republicans. To end on a more uplifting note, I thought Charlize Theron's Megyn Kelly was a stand-out performance of the year; Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie were great as well.
