If you’re going to tell the truth, tell the whole truth. But unfortunately, Roach’s feature refuses to, adding to a long list of problems the film already faces.

At its worst, BOMBSHELL mansplains sexual harassment to the very audience that experiences it on a daily basis.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 5, 2024

The film does an excellent job of making a group of unlikeable people affable so viewers can root for them-casually trotting out their professional universally approved accomplishments in dialogue, disavowing feminism, showing them as mothers and wives. I

Bombshell is a good film, and it tells a story worth telling. [But] I’m not convinced that Roach was the director to handle this type of material...

| Original Score: C+ | May 1, 2024

The ensemble lifts this somewhat flat and tonally uneven movie. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 26, 2023

Shines a spotlight on a horrible but important true story but the film never truly manages to reach the same level as the three terrific lead actresses.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2022

It’s true that the star-studded Bombshell could have gone further in its critique...at the center of its tale about redemption for survivors of sexual assault. But the film does succeed at painting Roger Ailes as the gross, abusive CEO he’s always been.

Don’t let their politics change your view of Roach’s blazing hot take on the first strike against Fox News or turn a blind eye to one of Theron’s best performances.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 22, 2022

So we end up with a frustrating movie that certainly sees itself as empowering while at the same time giving the real women who fought this fight the surface-level treatment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2022

Everything here is about the acting and its impressive leading cast. It's all in their eyes. In a delicate subject, the movie knows how not to be too much in your face and actually present drama. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 7, 2022

A clever and sharp delight and zips by; it may leave you breathless and wanting more.

Despite these significant flaws, is Bombshell worth the time during the busy holiday season? The answer is yes. Roach keeps things moving at a confident and suspenseful pace...

| May 18, 2022

It’s a tricky line to walk, but the film mostly gets it right, helped immeasurably by its performances, particularly the central trio of Theron, Kidman, and Robbie.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 13, 2022

By failing to contextualize their race and class, Bombshell overlooks how complicated the real women who ousted Roger Ailes are.

| Apr 7, 2022

Bombshell is worth seeing based on its strong performances, even if the way the film is framed is somewhat disappointing.

| Feb 26, 2022

The film is the latest meta-infused take on a ripped-from-the-headlines story populated by A-list performers.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 22, 2022

Although it may seem otherwise, I am not sure that Lithgow is playing the infamous lout over the top at all. Seems incredibly credible, folks.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 13, 2022

Through interviews with friends, family, Industry players and the late Lamarr herself, Dean builds a richly textured portrait of a fascinating, astute and insightful woman...

I think they wasted an opportunity. They tell this story through Megyn Kelly's point of the view when the real story, the meat and potatoes of this story, is [Gretchen Carlson's]

It's pacey, vibrant and high-gloss, but if you really want something to sink your teeth into, maybe go for The Loudest Voice instead.
