Review of Bombshell (2019) by Moviemitch96 — 20 Dec 2019

This film details the behind-the-scenes drama that occurred at Fox News with CEO Roger Ailes and his sexual misconduct/harassment towards the many women who worked there, and their stand against him to ultimately expose him and his behavior during the Trump election period.

With A-list actresses such as Charlize Theron (who portrays Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly), Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie headlining the cast, along with a very timely and important story that needs to be told and heard today more than ever, I was definitely eager to check this one out.

And while it's all told in a pretty straightforward manner, it's nonetheless very compelling, and the performances from all involved are terrific! Overall, while it's a formulaic biopic in some ways, and with some important details about the true story that I noticed were left out, the film's clever editing, standout performances from everybody, particularly the three leads, and the all-around importance and urgency of the story make it a very worthwhile watch.
