Jay Roach's (Trumbo) newest drama follows Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) Gretchen Karlson (Nicole Kidman) and Kayla Pospisil (Margot Robbie) at Fox News. When Megyn prepares for the Fox News Debate, where she'll go head to head with the person who'll end up winning the presidential election, Donald Trump, she doesn't shy away from confronting him with his outrageous tweets, in which he objectifies women over and over again.

I would NEVER leave this house. The new film Bombshell, which recently snagged two Golden Globe and four SAG Awards nominations, tells the true story of the sexual harassment scandal that took down Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News and a kingmaker in the Republican party. Ailes was an imposing personality: He advised right-leaning politicians, including Richard Nixon and Donald Trump, and was said to employ fear tactics in running his business. Ex-employees have said he installed secret surveillance cameras around Fox News offices. In 2016, a sexual harassment lawsuit brought against Ailes by former Fox journalist Gretchen Carlson kickstarted an internal investigation at the news network and, eventually, a wave of sexual harassment claims against Ailes. Megyn Kelly, at the time the rising star at the network, was among the women to report experiencing harassment at the hands of the network head. In total, more than 20 women accused Ailes, and he was forced to resign from his position in July of that year. He died a year later, at 77. In Bombshell, which opens nationwide Dec. 20, Nicole Kidman plays Carlson, who, after filing her suit, largely watches and waits on the sidelines hoping that other women at Fox will bolster her credibility with their own claims. Charlize Theron plays Kelly, debating whether to risk the future of her career by coming forward with her own story. And Margot Robbie plays a fictional character named Kayla who hopes to one day be a Fox TV anchor but faces harassment at the hands of Ailes (John Lithgow) and a culture of misogyny at the network. The film, which is directed by Jay Roach ( Trumbo, Meet the Parents) and moves at a clip like The Big Short (with which it shares a screenwriter) has a star-studded ensemble cast: Allison Janney, Connie Britton and Kate McKinnon all show up in supporting roles. Heres the story of the real-life scandal that inspired the movie. Roger Ailes built Fox News into a juggernaut Roger Ailes fundamentally changed the television landscape. Earlier in his career, Ailes became a much sought-after republican political consultant—he has been credited with helping both Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush get elected. He later moved into television, where in the 1990s he ushered a struggling CNBC into the black. In 1996, Rupert Murdoch (played in the film by Malcolm McDowell) who was at the time the chairman and CEO of NewsCorp, hired Ailes to launch Fox News. Ailes hired and mentored pugnacious right-wing commentators like Bill OReilly and Sean Hannity, whose opinion-forward shows grew to dominate the news network. During Ailes tenure, Fox News cast doubt on where Barack Obama was born and accused corporations of “waging a war on Christmas, ” among other inflammatory comments. Notoriously, Ailes hand-picked blonde, skinny women for on-camera shows and—as depicted in Bombshell —demanded that their desks be see-through so that the audience could see their legs. (Women at Fox have also said they were encouraged to wear skirts instead of pants for the same reason. ) Get The Brief. Sign up to receive the top stories you need to know right now. Thank you!

Long before he declared his candidacy, Donald Trump was a frequent guest. Trumps call-ins only ramped up once his campaign began. By regularly giving him a platform on his network, Ailes played an essential role in the presidents election. Fox captured a right-leaning, older demographic that Ailes argued was underserved by the rest of the media. By the time Ailes left Fox News in 2016, the network was averaging 2 million viewers a day, according to the New York Times, more than CNN and MSNBC combined. Gretchen Carlson and others accused Roger Ailes of sexual harassment In 2014 then- New York Magazine writer Gabriel Sherman published a biography of Roger Ailes called The Loudest Voice in the Room. In the book, an unnamed female producer alleged that Ailes, while he was at NBC, had offered her an additional 100 per week if she agreed to “have sex with me whenever I want. ” In 2016, former Fox & Friends cohost Gretchen Carlson accused Ailes of “severe and persistent sexual harassment” and of tanking her career by docking her pay and, as shown in the movie, moving her shows to lower-profile time slots after she refused his advances. Carlson said in her suit that when she confronted the Fox News head about his treatment of her, he responded, “I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then youd be good and better and Id be good and better. ” Eventually, she was fired. Ailes denied the accusations and claimed that he let go of Carlson because of her shows poor ratings. Fox News covered up sexual harassment claims When Carlson took her job at Fox News, she signed a non-disclosure agreement and a mandatory arbitration agreement that barred her from talking about her experiences publicly and forced her to take legal disputes into arbitration rather than to open court. In a TIME cover story, Carlson spoke about how corporations strategically deploy NDAs and mandatory arbitration clauses to cover up rampant sexual harassment. Even when women risk the professional consequences by coming forward with claims of abuse, these legal maneuvers ensure that bad behavior will remain a secret, allowing perpetrators to remain in power. As more women came forward with sexual harassment claims against Ailes, OReilly and other powerful men at Fox News, it became clear that dozens of women had experienced misogyny and worse at the network. Fox News, for instance, had agreed to settle a sexual harassment suit against OReilly for a whopping 32 million—and then decided to renew his contract. Ailes fought to protect himself and other powerful men at the network while women who worked there had little recourse for their mistreatment. Lachlan and James Murdoch greenlit the internal investigation of Ailes There was no love lost between Ailes and Rupert Murdochs sons, Lachlan and James (played by real-life brothers Ben Lawson and Josh Lawson in the movie. Lachlan had clashed with Ailes on Fox News content in 2005 and left for Australia when his father sided with Ailes. And after a company shake-up in 2015, Ailes was reportedly unhappy about the fact that he was forced to report to Lachlan and James rather than Rupert himself. Since then, James had become the CEO of 21st Century Fox, and Lachlan executive co-chairman of Fox. The brothers were attending the Sun Valley Conference, an annual gathering of the rich and powerful, when the news of Carlsons suit broke. With their father absent, the brothers consulted in-house counsel and decided to conduct an internal investigation into the sexual harassment claims. They hired the firm Paul, Weiss to conduct the investigation. Commentators have speculated on the sons motivation for this decision—perhaps they still felt burned from a phone-hacking scandal in Britain that had blown up in Rupert Murdochs face. Perhaps they wanted to get out in front of another scandal. Perhaps they knew that an investigation into Ailes would turn up dirt: His boorish and sexist behavior at the company was notorious. Perhaps they saw an opportunity to dispatch with one of their greatest rivals in the company. Ailes consulted with Rudy Giuliani and Susan Estrich After news of the suit broke, Ailes solicited help from former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani (played by Richard Kind) who was then acting as a legal consultant. (Ailes had acted as Guilianis media advisor during his 1989 mayoral campaign, and Giuliani, in turn, had officiated Ailes third wedding. Giuliani became Ailes representative during the internal investigation. In a strange turn of events, feminist legal scholar Susan Estrich (played by Allison Janney) also joined Roger Ailes legal team. Estrich had revolutionized the legal systems approach to rape cases: She criticized the fact that “acquaintance rape”—rape by a friend or spouse—was considered less extreme than other types of rape and lambasted the courts and the media for treating survivors as “nuts and sluts. ” But Estrich was a longtime personal friend of Ailes and often appeared as a talking head on Fox News, usually arguing the liberal side of a days given debate. It would not be the last time a renowned feminist lawyer defended a man accused of monstrous acts against women. Roger Ailes wife launched a campaign to protect her husband The week the lawsuit dropped, Roger Ailes wife, Beth Ailes (played in Bombshell by Connie Britton) contacted Kimberly Guilfoyle, a Fox News co-host, to help marshal support at the network for the Fox News head, according to Vanity Fair. In the movie, Guilfoyle (now Donald Trump Jr. s girlfriend) is portrayed distributing pro-Ailes t-shirts, demanding that women around the office put them on. (She reportedly left Fox herself in 2018 after allegations of sexual misconduct, which she subsequently denied, were made against her. ) Other women at Fox spoke out on Ailes behalf, including Greta Van Susteren (Anne Ramsay) and Jeanine Pirro (Alanna Ubach) who both hosted their own shows on the network. In the movie we see Pirro confront Kelly at the snack machine, though this is likely fictionalized. Megyn Kelly, meanwhile, remained conspicuously silent, as depicted in the movie. Beth Ailes also reached out to Kelly, but Kelly claimed she could not speak out about the situation until the investigation was over. At least 20 women, including Megyn Kelly, came forward with other sexual harassment claims At least 20 women came forward to the lawyers conducting the internal investigation or Carlsons own attorneys with stories of harassment at the hands of Ailes. One woman said that Ailes videotaped her and used the footage to blackmail her into pressuring other women into situations in which Ailes could harass them. Kelly met with the lawyers conducting the internal investigation and shared that Ailes had harassed her 10 years earlier. Pressure mounted for Fox to fire Ailes. He resigned after 20 years at the network and became a personal advisor to Trump. He died after falling in his Florida home within a year of leaving Fox News. Ailes deputy Bill Shine (Mark Moses) and others at the network were accused of covering up the Fox News heads misdeeds, and Shine was forced to resign. The wave of claims also exposed systemic harassment at the network. OReilly was also let go from the network. Both the Margot Robbie character and Kate McKinnon character are fictional In the film, Megyn Kelly debates whether she should come forward about her experience. Her harassment occurred 10 years prior to Carlsons lawsuit, and she wonders if Ailes could still be harassing women at Fox. In order to find out if thats the case, she visits with a young aspiring anchor named Kayla, played by Margot Robbie, who reveals to her in confidence that Ailes is, indeed, harassing her. The audience even sees a brief but disturbing scene in which Ailes asks Kayla to prove her loyalty to him by hiking up her skirt so he can see her underwear. Kayla is a fictional character—as is Jess (Kate McKinnon) Kaylas coworker and confidant who refuses to get involved in the matter for fear that someone at the network will find out that she is gay and fire her. But the younger journalists are included in the story to show how the reign of terror affected the women who were less powerful than Megyn Kelly and other anchors at Fox, and how they were forced to decide between their blossoming careers and stepping forward to protect themselves and their colleagues.

Bombshell richmond va. This bombshell couldn't have dropped at a better time. The #MeToo movement has been in full force for a couple of years now, with victims coming forward and sharing their horrific experiences around sexual harassment. What happened in 2016 at Fox News, gets dramatised to make it more appealing for moviegoing audiences, but at the core of the story is nothing but truth. The horrendous events surrounding the allegations against CEO and Chairman of Fox News, Roger Ailes, are astounding but not surprising after more and more highly regarded and powerful men have been uncovered as sexual predators in the workforce.

A confidently composed Gretchen meets with her lawyers, fed up with the comments here male co-anchors have made over the past couple of years and being demoted by her boss, Roger Ailes (John Lithgow. Her thoughts run through the speakers, while her lawyers ask her to hold on until they have a case to sue Roger and get ready to take down the "Loudest Voice" in the room. Kayla, who's been working as an associate producer, is a conservative Christian who believes in a fair and balanced America. But when she gets to visit the infamous second floor, things get uncomfortably disdainful. Many of these women seem to be happy working for Fox News, but the truth is being muzzled. Thriving in a toxic environment seems to be the biggest excuse to stay, but others just can't wait to prepare for the war that results in the ousting of Roger Ailes from the network.

Actors John Lithgow, Kate McKinnon, Connie Britton, Malcolm McDowell, and Allison Janney appear in supporting roles.

Much of the cast joined that summer and filming began in October 2018 in Los Angeles. It entered into a limited release in the United States on December 13, 2019, before a wide release on December 20, by Lionsgate. Bombshell received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising the performances of the cast (particularly of Theron, Kidman, Robbie, and Lithgow) and the makeup and hairstyling but some criticizing its screenplay and inaccuracies. At the 92nd Academy Awards, it earned three nominations: Best Actress (Theron) Best Supporting Actress (Robbie) and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

Plot [ edit] Roger Ailes heads Fox News, the dominant conservative television network. The film focuses on newscasters Megyn Kelly, Gretchen Carlson and composite character Kayla Pospisil. Kelly is one of the most popular and is to co-moderate the 2016 Republican debate. The day of the debate, sick and throwing up, she nevertheless questions Donald Trump on comments he has made about women. In retaliation, he tweets insults about her, and others follow suit. One paparazzo stalks Kelly's family outside her home to photograph her children, prompting Kelly's husband, Douglas, to kick the intruder out. Fox then hires a security detail for Kelly. Ailes fears someone poisoned her the day of the debate. Carlson is removed as co-anchor of the popular Fox and Friends and is transferred to a less popular show. Inundated by sexist comments on and off the air, she meets with lawyers who tell her how Rudi Bakhtiar was fired after alleging Ailes's sexual advances. They plan to file a harassment suit against Ailes but tell Carlson she'll need evidence and testimony from other women. Pospisil is Fox's newest hire, working with Carlson, but soon accepts a job on The OReilly Factor. Bill O'Reilly fires her that first day, and she gets drunk and sleeps with Fox's Jess Carr. When they wake up, Pospisil says she's not a lesbian and is shocked to see Carr's Hillary Clinton poster. Asked why a liberal lesbian would work for Fox, Carr says she applied for many jobs, but Fox hired her, and now no one else will. Pospisil later is invited to Ailes' office, where he makes her lift her skirt to show him her underwear. She tells Carr, who says she can't get involved. Carlson reveals on air that she supports the assault weapons ban, prompting Ailes to summon her. She's fired and not given a clear reason why. She decides to sue Ailes. He meets with his wife, Beth, and attorneys Susan Estrich and Rudy Giuliani, denying the allegations. All female staffers are asked to stand with Fox. Most do, but Kelly doesn't comment. When the suit is filed, no other women come forward, dashing Carlson's expectations. Viewers turn on her. Kelly finds other women, including Pospisil, who were sexually harassed by Ailes or OReilly. Pospisil says she obeyed Ailes to protect her career but now wants to come forward. Kelly speaks up and learns that 22 other women will too. Estrich tells Ailes that Carlson has recorded conversations that will win the case. Ailes meets with Fox co-creator Rupert Murdoch, who tells him he'll be fired. Ailes asks to break that news, but Murdoch refuses. When Murdoch says he's taking over Fox, Carr refuses to speak up. Pospisil, knowing she'll be fired, quits instead. Meanwhile, Carlson gets 20 million in damages and an apology from Fox but cannot speak about her case. She tells viewers that she doesn't care if they like her, only that they believe her. Cast [ edit] Production [ edit] Development [ edit] On May 18, 2017, shortly after the death of former Fox News founder Roger Ailes, it was announced that Annapurna Pictures was in the early stages of developing a film centered on the allegations made against Ailes by female employees, including Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson. Charles Randolph was expected to write the film's screenplay. [7] On May 22, 2018, it was announced that Jay Roach had been hired to direct the film. [8] On August 1, 2018, it was announced that Roach, Randolph, Beth Kono, AJ Dix, and Margaret Riley would act as the film's producers and that Denver and Delilah Productions would serve as the film's production company. [9] On October 9, 2018, it was announced that Annapurna Pictures had dropped out of producing the film, reportedly due to concerns over the film's growing budget. At the time of the announcement, it was confirmed that Bron Studios was staying on and that producers were looking at Focus Features, Participant Media, and Amblin Entertainment to help finance the film. [10] The following week, Lionsgate began negotiating to join the production after Focus Features and Amblin Entertainment passed on the project. [11] By the end of the month, Lionsgate was reported to be closing a deal to distribute the film. [12] In December 2018, it was reported that Theodore Shapiro would compose the film's score and that Barry Ackroyd would serve as the film's cinematographer. [13] 14] The film was given the working title Fair and Balanced, before being announced as Bombshell in August 2019. [15] Kelly later stated that she had no involvement with the film. [16] Casting [ edit] Alongside the directing and writing announcements, it was reported that Charlize Theron had entered negotiations to portray Kelly in the film. [8] On August 1, 2018, it was reported that Nicole Kidman had begun negotiations to star as Carlson and that Margot Robbie was in talks to play a composite associate producer at the network, with Theron confirmed to star. [9] 17] Later that month, it was announced that John Lithgow had been cast as Roger Ailes. [18] In September 2018, it was reported that Allison Janney had been cast as lawyer Susan Estrich and that Kate McKinnon had been cast to play a fictional producer. [19] 20] In October 2018, it was announced that Malcolm McDowell, Mark Duplass, and Alice Eve had been cast as Rupert Murdoch, Douglas Brunt, and Ainsley Earhardt, respectively. [21] 12] In November 2018, it was reported that Brigette Lundy-Paine and Liv Hewson had been cast as two fictional characters [22] and that Alanna Ubach, 23] Elisabeth Röhm, Spencer Garrett, Connie Britton, Ashley Greene, Brooke Smith, Michael Buie, Nazanin Boniadi, and Bree Condon had been cast as Jeanine Pirro, Martha MacCallum, Sean Hannity, Beth Ailes, Abby Huntsman, Irena Brigante, Bret Baier, Rudi Bakhtiar, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, respectively. [24] 25] 26] 27] 28] 29] In December 2018, it was announced that Rob Delaney had joined the cast of the film in an undisclosed role and that Ahna O'Reilly had been cast as Julie Roginsky. [30] 31] In June 2019, Robin Weigert announced she had joined the cast of the film. [32] Filming [ edit] Principal photography for the film began on October 22, 2018, in Los Angeles, California. [33] 34] Release [ edit] The film was scheduled for release on December 20, 2019. [35] However, it was pushed up to December 13, 2019, in a limited release, opening wide on December 20. [36] Reception [ edit] Box office [ edit] As of January 31, 2020, Bombshell has grossed 30. 6 million in the United States and Canada, and 12. 4 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of 43 million. [3] In its limited opening weekend the film made 312, 100 from four theaters for a per-venue average of 78, 025, the fifth best of 2019. [37] The film went wide at 1, 480 theaters the following weekend and, despite being projected to gross around 10 million, finished sixth with 5. 1 million. The audience was 58% female, with 60% being between 18-34 years old. [38] The following weekend the film made 4. 7 million (a total of 8. 3 million over the five-day Christmas frame) falling to ninth. [39] The film's box office results were seen as a disappointment, with The Hill saying that the presence of other projects about Ailes, such as the documentary Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes and the Showtime series The Loudest Voice, had lowered the demand for a film on the subject. [40] Forbes also noted that audiences likely do not want to "shell out movie theater money and time to watch a film about women being treated terribly by powerful men. especially (generally speaking) women. 41] Critical response [ edit] On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 70% based on 277 reviews, with an average rating of 6. 71/10. The website's critics consensus reads. Bombshell benefits from a terrific cast and a worthy subject, but its impact is muffled by a frustrating inability to go deeper than the sensationalistic surface. 42] On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 64 out of 100, based on reviews from 46 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews. 43] Audiences polled by PostTrak gave the film an average 4 out of 5 stars, with 70% saying they would definitely recommend it. [38] Variety's Owen Gleiberman gave the film a positive review and wrote: Bombshell is a scalding and powerful movie about what selling, in America, has become. The film is about selling sex, selling a candidate, selling yourself, selling the truth. And about how at Fox News all those things came together. 44] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: The actors throw themselves into their roles with terrific zeal, enlivened by the often blunt dialogue and the issues at stake. 45] Reactions from the depicted [ edit] In January 2020, Kelly posted a 30-minute video on her YouTube channel of a roundtable discussion, including her, Huddy, Bakhtiar, Brunt and former Fox News producer Julie Zann and their reactions and opinions after viewing a screening of the film. The panel confirmed many details depicted, including having to do the "spin" to show off their bodies to Ailes in private; Zann tearfully noted that reality was "worse than that" and the filmmakers "let Roger off easy. 46] 47] 16] Kelly took particular issue with the scene where Robbie's character blames Kelly for not speaking up, calling the scene victim blaming and noting that the scene was "written by a man" however, she also noted that the scene belongs in the film as a reminder to herself that she could have done more to help other victims.

Margot - Brads really nice. everyone else - MICHAEL. Margot - well okay, if y'all say so. Bombshell review. She didnt answer the santa question. Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie star in a story about the fall of Roger Ailes. Video transcript transcript ‘Bombshell, Anatomy of a Scene The director Jay Roach narrates a sequence featuring Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie. Hi, Im Jay Roach. I am the director of the film “Bombshell. ” So in this scene, we see Margot Robbie, whos playing Kayla, take a call from— clearly, from Roger Ailes office. And Kate McKinnon, whos playing Jess, in the cubicle with her. We have just seen, a few scenes back, that Roger is harassing Kayla right this minute and is now pressuring her to come back up. Weve also seen that Kate McKinnons character has warned her not to talk about it. So right away, its about staying silent. The score is playing this sort of haunting, all womens voices as the instrumentation, almost Phillip Glass thing that Teddy Shapiro came up with to emphasize how alone she is on this walk. And she walks into this elevator and thinks she can be alone. But in walks her actual idol, Megyn Kelly, played by Charlize Theron. And now, two women, who both have secrets, who both have been harassed, are in the same tight space and wont say a word to each other. And theyre going to ride this elevator up to the floor where Roger Ailes is. And this shot here is such a great example of Barry Ackroyds incredibly humanistic operating. Hes just watching the people and paying attention to what theyre reacting to, and finding the composition off of the performance. In comes Gretchen Carlson, played by Nicole Kidman, whos now a third woman in a different level of predicament, a different level of being harassed by Roger. And theyre all stuck in this space. So this was a very important scene, because its the only time in the whole movie when all three women are in the same place. And we wanted a kind of combination of capturing the predicament of them being in the elevator but not supporting each other, and seeing that in the wide shot, that you could actually jump around to watch each womans face in the three-shot and compose for that. And as Megyn watches them walk away, she knows that Margo, especially, is walking into Rogers lair, where almost all of the harassment happened at Fox. The director Jay Roach narrates a sequence featuring Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie. Credit Credit. Hilary B Gayle/Lionsgate Published Dec. 12, 2019 Updated Dec. 13, 2019 Bright and bouncy until it turns grim, “Bombshell” is a fictionalized account of the women who brought down Roger Ailes, the chairman and chief executive of Fox News. Helped bring him down is probably more accurate given that he was ousted by Rupert Murdoch, who founded Fox News in 1996 before handing the reins to Ailes. Since then, the network has become a ratings powerhouse and hothouse of right-wing talking points, a sea of white faces and dolled-up women in skirts and high heels. Ailes is now gone but the talking points, high ratings, skirts and heels remain. The movies title is clever, cleverness being its modus operandi. The story, after all, is about female employees who, with icy smiles and iron ambition, worked for a conservative political force who institutionalized the harassment of women. So, how do you make heroines out of characters that some in the audience will see as deeply compromised if not outright villainous? For starters, you cast on the offensive by having Charlize Theron play Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman do Gretchen Carlson and Margot Robbie break hearts as the fictional Kayla Pospisil. Image Credit. Hilary B Gayle/Lionsgate The stars, with their unimpeachable talent, filmographies and feminist cred, are a shrewd way of blunting skepticism. Even so, the characters are tricky, especially Megyn and Gretchen, who come with ideological baggage that complicates Hollywoods holy grail of relatability. The movie wants, needs us to like them, which may be why it breaks the fourth wall early on with Megyn directly addressing the audience, looking into the camera as she tours the network offices in a slightly tight red, white and blue dress. One man yells out a compliment, another looks her up and down. She keeps on walking, focused, hips swinging like knives. Having her talk to the viewer immediately makes the audience part of a very special Megyn Kelly tour group. It creates intimacy, almost a little conspiracy between you and her, so when she starts chatting about Roger (John Lithgow, galumphing with verve) including his history advising Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, you lean in and listen. Tell us more. Youre getting the inside dope from one of the networks biggest stars. When Megyn says that Roger is always watching and we see the many surveillance monitors inside his own personal panopticon, it brings a shiver. Tell us everything. Directed by Jay Roach, from a script by Charles Randolph (“ The Big Short ”) “Bombshell” opens not long before the first Republican presidential candidates debate in August 2015. Kelly moderated it with two other Fox News anchors, but she was the one who drew national attention because of her questioning of Donald J. Trump and what it wrought. “You once told a contestant on ‘Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees, ” Kelly said. “Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president? ” Afterward, Trump said she had “behaved very badly” and went on a Twitter rampage against her. Heres the thing about sexism: It doesnt discriminate. Its an equal opportunity prejudice that cuts across history, culture, political affiliation. “Bombshell” gets this. And part of what works in the movie is that it does a good job of presenting the ordinary assaults that women, even those with great privilege, can endure simply to get through a day, including dehumanizing “compliments. ” When Megyn walks through the network as men size her up, she doesnt break stride. She keeps marching. Shes a warrior and Theron makes you believe that with her ramrod posture and absolute assurance, Megyn could lead an army or maybe a rebellion, if she chose. Will she or wont she? Thats the question teased for a long time in “Bombshell, ” which gains steam as Trumps assault stirs up trouble for Megyn. (Roach incorporates archival material of the real candidate throughout, amping up the movies historical bona fides. Narratively, Megyns insistence on calling Trump out for his treatment for women — and then dealing with the ominous backlash — becomes a prelude to the looming crisis with Roger. She is the networks biggest female star and shes willing to take on a presidential candidate; as Roger says, its good TV. But when Gretchen sues Roger for sexual harassment, Megyn at first lets the other woman twist in the wind. Roach started out directing comedies and his background generally works for him in “Bombshell, ” which he gives a lightness of touch in the beginning that promises (rightly, sometimes wrongly) everything will work out just fine. He even brings a sense of breezy fun to Fox that suggests everyone will soon be amusingly skewered. (The cinematographer Barry Ackroyd brings the texture, shadows and professional sheen. With its big hair, shiny sets and the gun-packing Sean Hannity, the network is grist for parody, though it can be tough to tell whos in on the joke. (The cast includes Kate McKinnon, Richard Kind, Allison Janney and a devilish Malcolm McDowell. “Bombshell” works as well and as long as it does largely because of its actors, Theron most of all. One of her qualities as a performer is that she never begs for the audiences love. She can come across as remote, but she also reads as supremely self-contained: Shes a fortress of one. She shows you her characters existential isolation, which is often where their humanity lies. You see that in “Bombshell, ” which strengthens its realism and is finally more impressive than the prosthetics she wears that, with a husky scrape in her voice, turn her into Kellys uncanny double. Even when the movie puts some feminist-lite uplift on this ugly world, Theron doesnt soften Megyn. Kidman is comparatively sidelined, though its Gretchen who knocks over the first domino. (The Showtime limited series about Ailess downfall, “The Loudest Voice, ” foregrounds Carlson. For the most part, Kidman plays Gretchen sincerely, though Roach over-sentimentalizes the character, especially with periodic cutaways to her children. But Kidman also makes Gretchen ever-so-slightly ridiculous, adding a sharp sliver of comedy that underscores how self-serving and futile her rebellious gestures at the network are, like when she appears on camera wearing no makeup. You will never win the war, the movie implies, by working for the enemy. That critique only goes so far in “Bombshell, ” which finally cant deal with the storys uncomfortable contradictions. So instead it makes you cry, notably with Kayla, a self-described evangelical millennial in the “Jesus space. ” Robbie deepens the movies emotional stakes as its persuasively sweet golden girl, who is brutalized by Roger. Roach handles this well enough, including in an upsetting scene in which Roger orders her to bare her white panties, a queasy emblem of surrender. But it is Robbie — with her panicked, darting eyes and tensely resistant, then capitulating physicality — who conveys the horror of sexual harassment, a degradation that seeps into body and soul. Kayla is the movies sacrificial lamb and, to an extent, a representation of female victimization and innocence. The problem in “Bombshell” is that Megyn and Gretchen have for years gone along with abusive male power to get along, at least while it was expedient for them. The movie personalizes this by having one woman call out another late in the story, rightly saying that if someone had sounded the alarm earlier maybe other victims might have been spared. But that wasnt in Megyn and Gretchens self-interest, a truism that the movie cant fully face. Ailes was awful, but he also had a lot of smiling help from the very women he made rich and famous. Bombshell Rated R for scenes of sexual harassment against women and crude language. Running time: 1 hour 48 minutes.

Bombshell, the movie inspired by the sexual harassment scandal surrounding Fox News exec Roger Ailes, arrives in theaters on December 13. The film stars Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, and Margot Robbie as fictional news producer Kayla Pospisil. John Lithgow stars as Ailes. There isn't an Oscars category for casting directors, but whoever was in charge of assembling the cast of Bombshell deserves some type of award. The upcoming drama, which revolves around the Roger Ailes sexual harassment controversy and fallout at Fox, stars Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly and Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson—and they're dead-ringers for their real-life counterparts. Theron's resemblance to Kelly is especially shocking. With a clean updo, thick eyeliner, and a stern smile, she's almost entirely transformed into the former Fox News anchor. Left: Megyn Kelly.
