Wowsers! Ms. Theron's prosthetics and voice were...interesting. CT's usually a fine actress, but in this instance her performance was more analogous to Alec Baldwin's SNL Trump impersonation than a serious portrayal of a real human being. Politically, I'm center-right, but I was willing to give the movie a chance (on VOD, at least) because I was an am a big fan of Megyn Kelly and was interested in the story. That said, this isn't a serious movie, a la "Spotlight" or "All The President's Men." This is cotton candy for people to watch on the weekend when "Maddow" is off the air. No nutritional value. If you hate FOX, just follow "media matters" on social media or watch Brian Steltzer on CNN and save the rental fee.
