My quick rating - 7,0/10. It is quite funny watching this now since on my last visit to Australia, I arrived back in the USA right at the height of this whole scandal. Even though I didn't remember it hitting Roger Ailes as solidly as Bill O'Reilly, I knew the basic outcome of what was coming. That aisde the movie tells a story that I am sure was happening, and still does, all the time. Women being subjectified in the work place, and roles being handed out to the better looking woman that are willing (for lack of a better word since forced isn't entirely true) give a little extra for the job. The #metoo movement to a tee. So yes, the three incredibly well acted women in this movie are the focus of the abuse, and behind closed door assaults. The story itself is so appalling that it wasn't necessary to have such great actresses to drive this home so that just made the movie that much better. Not the first time it has happened at work nor will be the last but I hope this opened up a lot of eyes at this type of action and maybe someday it can be abolished for good. A definite watch.
