It's about time such movies are made, so congratulations on a true masterpiece. The cast is superb, Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman are surpassing themselves in portraying Meghan Kelly and Gretchen Carlson. Although they are some of the most famous actresses in Hollywood, they vanished completely behind their characters, in part also because of the incredible make-up artistry and costumes.
I was skeptical at first because this movie looked just like another stupid Hollywood flick, but boy was I wrong. This movie mercilessly exposes the mechanism of white men's power, it dissects all the facets of how the patriarchy still keeps women (and minorities) literately and figuratively on their knees. It masterfully portrays the personal risk and the struggles that woman face when standing up to the oppression and exploitation they face daily by male superiors. It hammers the viewer with the fact that women still are objectified and degraded to mere eye candy. And it just shows that women still are a world away to get a fair chance in life. Sorry to say, but if you don't like this movie, you are part of the problem.
As a woman who was severely sexually harassed at several work places, this movie means the world to me. It is about time that women learn that they need to speak up, that they do not need to settle, that there is no reason to degrade yourself in order to get a chance in life that is fully deserved. Movies like these are such an important contribution to this development, they are a necessity to advance the discourse, and in the end change.
