The documentary (almost) drama about harassment in the American television channel Fox News.
“Sensation” – not quite a documentary, because some events are changed for the more dramatic, and among the real actors meet fictional. As, for example, the character Margot Robbie. The creators warn about changing some of the details from the first frame, but it doesn’t change the fact that the basis of real events.

The viewer is transferred to the events of 2016, the year when the Creator of the rating of the American TV channel Roger Isles faces accusations of sexual harassment.

Margot Robbie and her character, which is called the “modular way”, hinting at emotional taskbar and the scene with the raising of the skirt, without a doubt, strong. But this scene is the strongest in the film by voltage level. In most, the viewer sees what can be dry to read on Wikipedia or in any lorrd devoted to the subject of the scandal on Fox News.

The theme is, without a doubt, important and visible background traffic #MeToo, but the story is filed is not the best way.
Movie rating is 6.8, and see it is recommended from the age of 16.
