100 WORD FILM REVIEWS / Bombshell

Bombshell: B-

In Bombshell, the women of Fox News jump on the #MeToo bandwagon, all while a dazzling Charlize Theron (Megyn Kelly) repeats that she is “not a feminist.” It’s a solid attempt to humanize the powerful women behind the major news network, but the film spends most of the time navigating shallow plot points, without getting into the true exploration of Kelly’s struggle. The better scenes feature Margot Robbie, the “evangelical millennial,” as an amalgamation of many victims, but even her story is left with dead ends. To sum it up, Robbie’s character said it best: it’s too little, too late.
