The actual story which Bombshell is based on only happened a few years ago, but it was fascinating to watch it all unfold on screen. Lithgow does such an incredible job at portraying a man with so much power and the lengths he is willing to go to in order to exercise this control over the staff members beneath him. This type of sexual harassment is something which happens in Hollywood more often than you would believe, so it's nice to have a film out there which shows that people can come forward and speak out if they are going through something of a a similar nature. Bombshell isn't a documentary and so I don't know if everything is 100% accurate, but I can imagine they didn't stretch too far from the truth. Having said that, the film does make some odd choices with a few of the supporting characters, and I never felt that it reached the depths that it probably should have. I don't really know what I would have done differently, but I did feel that a little more emotional depth would have been the thing that turned a really good movie into a great one. All-in-all, Bombshell is absolutely worth a trip out to see it! SCORE: 76.
