Excellent acting and makeup transformed actors to real life people they portrayed. Interesting take on the fox news scandal. Mix of movie made news with real news was awesome.

Not even close to tv-series The Loudest Voice, run on the same theme. Watch that instead.

The only thing that's disappointing is that this story even needed to be told. It's disgusting that this kind of thing happens in America. I applaud the people who stood up and spoke out to stop what was going on. It's only a tiny dent in the changes that need to be made in workplace culture. So many people still don't see the problem. Great movie.

This is a very good movie about the dynamics of sexual harassment. The fear, the betrayals, the shame, the conflicting feelings--it's all here. Extraordinary performance by Charlize Theron. Margot Robbie is also excellent and although Nicole Kidman hams it up a bit, she's fun to watch.

It goes without saying that it is disgusting when men in power abuse their position by taking advantage of women in a sexual manner, but who the hell thought that the Fox News scandal would make for a compelling movie? Never has 109 minutes seemed so long. Director Jay Roach, so good at goofball comedy, bored my socks off with this dreary feminist drama that moves slowly and uneventfully towards its inevitable damp squib of a climax (when sex-pest Roger Ailes gets what's coming to him -- a $40 million settlement from Rupert Murdoch). It's extremely telling that the thing I found most engrossing about the whole film was trying to decide whether Nicole Kidman's chin was a prosthetic or some monstrous plastic surgery procedure gone horribly wrong. I'm still undecided about that, but I am sure that I will never watch this film again (unless someone wants to pay me $40 million to do so).

If you never heard of the Roger Ailes scandal and don't mind some (or a lot) of politics in movies then I can recommend it to watch but don't expect anything exceptional I didn't think I would ever say this but from the recent movies with females in the leading role I enjoyed "Hustlers" a lot more than I did Bombshell

This film would've been a great one if they actually went full on with what it was doing, but sadly we just get a shallow film that feels like it was only made for people in Hollywood and literally no one else on Earth. There's a lot about the actual real life subject matter that would've been great to explore in film, and while the performances are great, it just doesn't do the subject justice.
