Not everyone is a fan of ‘Bombshell’

One big omission from my previous postings of this week's movie openings involves a film drawn directly (if a bit dramatically) from real life (I had it opening last week, my bad):

"Bombshell": Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie and a virtually unrecognizable John Lithgow portray the essential personalities involved in the Fox News controversies over sexual harassment, etc.

Some critical comments (some of which are somewhat negative):

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: "For its part, 'Bombshell' tells a crucial chapter of that larger tale with coolheaded style and heated indignation. Its aim might be narrow, but it hits the target."

Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times: "Ultimately, the film's unwillingness to go deeper makes it fall flat."

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: "A ferociously entertaining dramatization of how an unlikely group of women exposed and deposed media titan Roger Ailes, it is as harrowing as it is triumphant in its depiction of the way it all came to pass."

That seems to be the lot. So go, see a movie. And enjoy.
