Bombshell (9/10)

A revealing look inside the most powerful and controversial media empire of all time and the explosive story of the women who brought down the infamous man who created it.

When you have Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson and Margot Robbie as Kayla Pospisil, you can easily expect Bombshell-like performances that can immediately be described as some of the best performances we’ve witnessed this entire year!

Story: Bombshell’s storyline progressed so effortlessly and with a steady hypnotic-like pace that keeps you invested and hooked till literally the very last second!! Since this Film is based on a very well-known and scandalous true story, it was necessary to include all the facts and make sure not to leave anything out. And that was the case and it never felt overwhelming or too much!! Plus, the cause and message behind this film deserves to be heard and seen everywhere and by everyone!

Characters: Since all the characters are based on real human beings and real-life personalities, it was necessary to take each one’s own POV and recite it exactly at it is!! I don’t know how much this is correct, but I believe that Roach did a great job in translating these characters’ struggles into the big screen!!

Acting: okay I’m seriously impressed!!! Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly is outrageously phenomenal!!! Margot Robbie killed it!! Her emotional range and absolutely mind-blowing acting skills made her stand out and be the ultimate star of the film!! Nicole Kidman was also really good! I especially really liked Ashley Greene’s quick appearance!!

Makeup: hands down some of the best onscreen transformations I’ve seen in a really long time!! Theron’s transformation into Kelly is disturbingly spot on!! Just wow!!

There’s actually a lot and a lot of positive things I can say about this film but it’s better if you guys see it by yourself as soon as possible!!
