Bombshell

While this is no doubt supposed to be a rather serious and grave film, about a subject that is extremely relevant, I often couldn't shake the feeling that I was watching a pastiche, almost a comedy at times. I don't know the characters by heart, but I've seen them around and I had a really hard time taking them seriously.

When a show host at Fox is fired because she challenges the status quo a little too much, she takes it upon herself to clean house. She charges the CEO of the company for sexual harassment. At first, her lawsuit seems like a drop on a hot plate, but then more and more women join her cause.

The performances are thick, almost comical. The plot is predictable (even without knowing much of the facts upfront) and the film never feels genuine or trustworthy. Bombshell is a typical Hollywood vehicle, not the kind of film that can deliver a message with any kind of authority. Not great.
