Bombshell (I) (2019)
7/10
Cool film but disjointed
22 January 2020
Overall this film was very enjoyable and compelling to watch. There are some very powerful and uncomfortable scenes in this film which alone warrants the film at least 7/10. The reason it doesn't rate higher for me is because there are far too many characters introduced throughout the film which makes the narrative disjointed. It has that modern approach where characters talk really fast at each other expecting the viewer to just pick things up, when in actual fact it takes time for my brain to process the context of what they are talking about, by which stage they have breezed on to another character / situation. The questions at the end were quite pertinent and I certainly don't see anyone being 'let off the hook' in terms of their real life actions. As someone who has a HR background and who has had to put an entire organisation through mandatory harassment training (legally request by a court!) I'm shocked that such overtly inappropriate behaviour can even be conceivably sanctioned, let alone condoned by an entire cohort of intelligent women.
