I viewed Bombshell again, and again I deemed it quite engrossing and a "good" film. The movie is well-paced, well-acted, and well-written, with engaging dialogue and commendable characterizations. It is both intelligent and entertaining. The "breaking of the fourth wall," meanwhile, mainly occurs at the beginning in the form of an office tour from Megyn Kelly and helps draw the viewer into the narrative—at least that is how the tactic worked for me.
Bombshell would have been even better had it offered more imagination and creativity visually. Indeed, only one shot (that of a sobbing Margot Robbie outside of a restaurant, at the end of a critical scene) stands out in terms of composition, elegance, contrast, and perspective. That said, while very limited, the film's visual style works well enough for Bombshell's material and manner.
Also of note is the movie's closing credits sequence, with its glamorous graphics and teasing song written and performed by Regina Spektor. It is rather reminiscent of a classic James Bond opening credits sequence, only with a feminist, anti-misogynist slant.
