Atom User Reviews for Bombshell
This movie is NOT a modern day "9 to 5" kind of film, as the teaser trailer implies. (SPOILER ALERT) The 3 leading ladies do not team up against Roger Ailes. The elevator scene in the teaser trailer is the ONE AND ONLY TIME that all 3 leading ladies are together in the story. Their stories are pretty much separate from each other. The elevator is the only moment with all three and it plays exactly like the trailer, minus the actor and title text. It is a good thing the rest of the movie is funny and entertaining. Otherwise, I would have left the theater very angry!
It’s good if you like that type of movie
it's ironic how this movie is about harrasment and abuse of human rights, but it's infuriating show the writers in this so called movie use the name of Our Lord and Saviour JESUS Christ in vain! Have some respect!!!!
Didn't know much about the subject matter, but was educated on it throughout the movie. Charlize was her usual stellar self, Margot shined, but Nicole Das bland.
Well told dramatization of the caustic atmosphere at Fox News.
Very emotional and truthful movie that must be seen.
I enjoyed the movie. It’s the start of sexual expectations from a male dominated workplace in order for women to advance.
Great movie!
So incredibly powerful! Thank you to the amazing cast that brought this story to the screen. To the women that came forward...so proud of you!! Brava!!!
Margot Robbie is amazing
Worth seeing to understand everything that went down
so happy this film was made
I was hesitant to go see this movie because I thought it would be boring, but it was everything but boring! I loved it! It really makes you think about what some women go through on a daily basis at work and in positions in a mans world. Very inspiring.
Outstanding Cast
Too political and bias!
Theron, Kidman, Lithgow all great! Accurate depiction.
I don’t know if this is a compliment or not, but I spent the whole movie trying to force myself to see Charlize Theron and not Meghan Kelly. It was distracting because of how well she portrayed her. Is there such thing as portraying someone too well?
Uneven but mesmerizing
Great story, great actors, absolutely loved it!
This is a must see movie for all you Trump supporters!!
Not very good
Gives light to how women have been treated, scared and repressed in the workforce. I remember the story leaking, it was a nice refresher more than just the news story we heard.
A great movie!
A true must watch the best way to understand such a sick problem
It's a story that needed to be told. It disgusts me as to think how many stories there are that haven't been told
I read all about this in the news papers..the movie brought it all together, great acting & story.
It was ok - glad to see this story being told
Loved the movie! Great cast, well done!
very interesting. learned alot of the situation. was uncomfortable to watch at times but dealt with the topic well. it felt a bit like a jab at trump, Fox news, all the people at support them, and Republicans in general. I don't know how well that will be received in the general audience. but I liked it
Really good. Worth seeing.
This was a really good movie. Never cared for Megan Kelly however now I have a new respect for her
Positive outcome that needed to happen.
Loved the storyline
Very eye-opening look at the office pressures and harrasment of women at Fox News. It kept my attention. Great cast.
This is a good movie, not great. It's worth seeing because: 1. It's a true story that everyone should know 2. The acting is excellent 3. It will hold your interest the entire movie So definitely go to see it.
Phenomenal film of a true story! Casting, direction, story were all magnificent. Can't recommend highly enough!
Well acted. Well written. Well presented. Told the truth about a real issue. Bravo!
Great movie. It was interesting, but kinda slow at times.
Great story that needs to be told. Glad this movie was made. Wish it went into the aftermath of the scandal more.
Great movie with a top notch cast. Breathtaking
Did a great job with this movie.
Disappointing
It was a great movie however they could’ve delved more into the allegations.
it was a great movie. powerful for women that usually dont have courage to speak up for their own rights & beliefs.
Metacritic
However freely fictionalized, I like my docudramas with as much moral complication and human shading as filmmakers can provide. Years from now, it’d be wonderful to look back at something more than good actors, with or without wizardly prosthetics, taking our mind off what’s not quite right with the stories at hand.
An explosive piece of entertainment that also means to make a difference. Listen up.
It’s all weighty, serious material with huge stakes — emotionally, culturally and financially. But Roach, working from a script by Charles Randolph, finds a tricky balance of portraying these events with a sprightly tone while crafting a steadily building tension. Bombshell is both light on its feet and a punch in the gut.
