Whether it’s the lines, performances, or its concept, everything about it matches its title. It’s smart, elegant, important and must be seen by everyone whether you’re a Fox News supporter or not. Read more

Wisely, Roach and team don’t get swept away by the bracing change and empowerment of victory. Indeed, Bombshell’s final act is a smack I still feel. But its power is its honesty. Read more

Dit is een typische Hollywood film, zo één die alleen in Amerika gemaakt kan zijn. Sensatiebelust, maar zonder diepgang. Read more
