Bombshell

When there’s not one but two star-filled shows depicting you as an asshole, that’s how you know you’re an asshole. Along with the Showtime show, The Loudest Voice, this movie depicts Fox News asshole Roger Ailes in all of his grand assholery. You really have to be an asshole to make Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson look sympathetic. Filmmakers do an excellent job juxtaposing the experienced anchors with the “newby” played by Margot Robbie who just wants to impress and get ahead. It wouldn’t work without her, and her regret about what is ultimately an extremely toxic environment is devastating. Filmmakers run a tight ship with a first-rate cast in one of the best dramas of the year. This was great – and it couldn’t be more relevant. Kudos to Jay Roach et al.
