'Bombshell' is a pleasingly even-handed portrait of rampant meglomania and media manipulation that was so fair it barely made a dent on the fabric of society. Despite drawing faint praise and back-handed compliments from quarters aplenty, I'd argue it's quite excellent and will stand the test of time.
Give it a try if you feel so inclined.
'One Little Soldier' - Regina Spektor

I liked it. A large and good mostly female cast with Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie, and John Lithgow as the standouts.

I liked it mainly for the performances. Charlize Theron, John Lithgow, and Margot Robbie were exceptional. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a tough subject, but it was handled appropriately. There was one scene where Robbie's character blames Megyn Kelly for not speaking out soon enough, which didn't feel too authentic. In some workplaces, it's not easy for women to report powerful men for sexual harassment.

I think Kayla meant that Megyn also had the option of telling the other women working at Fox News about that, without pressing charges against him.
