There are no heroes in 'Bombshell,' as much as the movie's creators want there to be. The film, about Roger Ailes's alleged systematic harassment of the women at Fox News, has as its main strength a phenomenal female cast, including Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, Charlize Theron as a practical body double of Megyn Kelly, and Margot Robbie as the fictional Kayla Pospisil, an ambitious young evangelical Christian whose family worships Fox News as much as Jesus Christ.
Jill FilipovicThe women of 'Bombshell' are as steely as they are gorgeous. They're also enablers of the same misogynist culture they protest. The film pokes at this uncomfortable truth and, refreshingly, doesn't whitewash Fox's ugliness. Ailes's on-screen harassment of Kayla is particularly painful, and Margot Robbie's excruciating rendering of how sex, power and humiliation all tie together is one of the film's most horrifying -- and important -- moments.
