Bombshell [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2019]

I had never heard of thus case before, but it was a really great movie about standing up and doing the right thing no matter what. It really shows these women both at their weakest/scared and at their strongest/toughest.

"Bombshell" tells the behind-the-scenes story of the sex scandal that rocked Fox News and toppled the evil empire of Roger Ailles. Starring an A-list cast of actresses, topped by Charlize Theron as Megan Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, and Margot Robbie as a wide-eyed, bushy-tailed Fox girl wannabe (Theron and Robbie were nominated for Actress and Supporting Actress Oscars) and an indelibly creepy performance by John Lithgow as Ailles, the film takes no prisoners in recreating the predatory work space of the cable news network and the sex-as-currency ethos of its management. You've probably read about this story. Regardless of your opinions about the "Fair and Balanced" network, you owe it to yourself to see this revenge of the blondes tale told in a way that Ailles would appreciate: heavy on sizzle, light on substance, and with just enough truthiness to get you thinking.

The movie is very dramatic -- would be great even if it were fictional. This is based on a true story, of course, and discusses a subject that should have received attention in this country long ago. The more I learn about this movie, the more that I like it. The bonus features are very good. Most impressively to me is that how close to the "true" story this movie was (Hollywood is notorious for corrupting a true story to add drama. You can see for yourself how the "real people" evaluated the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmSz7HqkI9s

Well written with characters as complex as they are flawed and a central theme that connects well with both liberal and conservative viewers. For me the true standouts include Margot and Lithgow, Margot in her ability to portray emotion (even with a fictional character a strong contender for best supporting actress). And the incomparable Lithgow in his portrayal of someone who is equally as vile as they are disgusting. Worth the wait.

A tour de force, especially if You appreciates movies for or about women. John Lithgow plays a despicable Roger Aires during his downfall for sexual harassment from a generation of men in power who felt entitled. Charlize Theron, Margot Kidder, Nicole Kidman, and Kate McKinnon each have their moments in the hostile environment that was (or is?) Fox News.

Dynamite actresses at the top of their form. Excellent script. Peels back the layers of deception and personality cult at Fox News. John Lithgow disappears in his fat suit and prosthetics so he is unrecognizable. He embodies nasty. Theron, Kidman and Robbie are perfect in their getting into the spirit of the piece.

I enjoyed watching this movie a lot and I thought that the acting was all great. I also thought that the director did a very good job. The main actresses have always been on my favorites list and I enjoyed watching them once again with a new story. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for something a little different to watch.

I watch Fox programming all day, It makes me mad when a favorite host in on air on Tuesday, and than never to be seen or heard from again. This DVD explains how this happens. The male part can sure cause problems when it thinks for it self. Roger, was a complete idiot for not controlling, said "PART".
