El escándalo (Bombshell)

...both light on its feet and a punch in the gut.

The odious working conditions for female on-air talent at Fox News and the first high-profile sparks of resistance (...) is the subject of the double-entendre’d 'Bombshell'.

Bombshell belongs to its three main female stars. It’s their fierce, finely shaded performances that transcend the film’s drab visual style and drier episodic moments...

...this is Theron’s show. She’s utterly compelling as the heart of a tryptic of female power rounded out by Nicole Kidman as on-the-outs host Gretchen Carlson and Margot Robbie as wannabe-anchor Kayla.

...speckled with powerful, insightful moments...

Roach and Randolph’s biggest achievement here is in getting under their skin, to show how sexual harassment creates a workplace that crackles with danger and uncertainty for women.
