Bombshell - Opgørets time

Der er noget betagende ved rutsjebaneturen, der i det ene øjeblik imiterer hastigheden i Fox’ eget sensationsflow for i det næste at sætte farten ned for at udfolde umådeligt sårbare scener med rystende, stærke skuespilpræstationer.

The odious working conditions for female on-air talent at Fox News and the first high-profile sparks of resistance (...) is the subject of the double-entendre’d 'Bombshell'.

...both light on its feet and a punch in the gut.

Bombshell belongs to its three main female stars. It’s their fierce, finely shaded performances that transcend the film’s drab visual style and drier episodic moments...

...speckled with powerful, insightful moments...

...this is Theron’s show. She’s utterly compelling as the heart of a tryptic of female power rounded out by Nicole Kidman as on-the-outs host Gretchen Carlson and Margot Robbie as wannabe-anchor Kayla.

Roach and Randolph’s biggest achievement here is in getting under their skin, to show how sexual harassment creates a workplace that crackles with danger and uncertainty for women.
