![]() (R for sexual material and language throughout) ★★★ 1/2 (Mick LaSalle, Hearst Newspapers) The fictional Kayla's breakdown scene, full of shame, anger and anguish, is the acting highlight of the film, the keystone in yet another fierce, emotionally abandoned performance from Robbie. If the women can take it, the audience can take it, too. If there's a criticism to be made of "Bombshell," it's that it doesn't go far enough in telling us what Ailes definitely did, and it barely shows it. One scene flows into the next as if it were inevitable. Screenwriter Charles Randolph and director Jay Roach juggle three main characters easily, despite the fact that they interact infrequently. One of the many strong points of "Bombshell" is that its pioneering truthfulness doesn't devolve into polemics, and it's not didactic. A group of women (Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie) decide to take on Fox News head Roger Ailes (John Lithgow) and the toxic atmosphere he presided over at the network.
