BOMBSHELL ***

Should any movie dealing with sexual harassment be as enjoyable as Jay Roach's marvellous "Bombshell"? Probably not, but this account of how a handful of women brought down the boss of Fox News. just by telling the truth, is a real treat. Of course, that may be because we all love a juicy story and this one is as juicy as they come or maybe it's because we all love seeing brilliant actors just acting brilliantly. Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie are three of the women involved while a prosthetically enhanced John Lithgow is equally good as Roger Ailes, a man who keeps insisting his anchor women show a lot of leg as television is a visual medium. Of course, it didn't stop there and, as we all know, Ailes isn't the only power-abusing bigwig to have his crimes exposed and, make no mistake, sexual harassment is a crime.

Of course, you could argue that "Bombshell" is just a little too pleased with itself and just a tad on the superficial side to really make an impact; after all, Roach did begin in comedy. Until the whole culture of patriarchy, of sexualization and of power games is tackled in depth and in the real world, movies like "Bombshell" will remain nothing more than first-class entertainment but at least it is entertaining and it is first-class and that is a nice step to be getting on with.
