Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Lamarr was fascinating, brilliant, and, until recently, underappreciated. Bombshell, through a wealth of archival footage and crisp storytelling, gives her genius its due.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Not your usual silver-screen documentary.
IndieWire
Steve Greene
It's a reminder that, even for world-famous icons, it's pointless to reduce people to a single piece of notoriety.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The movie reveals and demonstrates over and over that Lamarr was a fascinating and brilliant person, a true eccentric with considerable will and personal courage.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
An entertaining, and at times heartbreaking and infuriating, film.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Ultimately stands as a tragedy of what might have been and never came to be, for both its subject and for us.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's a fascinating story, if one that has been told before.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It fascinates both as film history and as a sobering reminder of how little credit a woman like Lamarr received, even at the peak of her popularity.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A documentary that follows Lamarr's tumultuous life, tracking a life in which her beauty served to obscure her brains, although her brains persevered.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
If the storytelling technique is a little prosaic, the subject matter is more than sufficiently engrossing.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
What makes "Bombshell" intriguing is not just Lamarr's gift for invention, it's also what a fiery individualist she was, someone who had no regrets about her eventful life ("You learn from everything"), not even its racy, tabloid elements.
Tablet
J. Hoberman
With all due respect, so far as movies are concerned, the Jewish "Wonder Woman" of 2017 is not Gal Gadot but Hedwig Kiesler.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
An entertaining documentary, though its thesis isn't entirely convincing.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
If Bombshell inspires people to seek out her movies, it will have achieved two goals: giving her the belated credit she deserves for a critical invention, and laying the groundwork to rebuild her reputation as an actress. Her beauty speaks for itself.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Ms. Dean relates Lamarr's ventures, those onscreen and off, with savvy and narrative snap, fluidly marshaling a mix of original interviews and archival material that includes film clips, home movies and other footage.
Village Voice
Chuck Wilson
Recognition (and compensation) proved elusive in Lamarr's lifetime, but in this marvelous documentary, a brilliant woman - "I'm a very simple, complicated person" - finally gets her due.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
Too sympathetic toward its subject to serve as a satisfying biography of the actress-inventor, but it's a totally serviceable, if disappointingly uncinematic, film about a singular celebrity.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
The film curiously steers toward surmising Hedy Lamarr's psychological state as it pertained to love and pleasure.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It's a great story - and one told with real sympathy and respect for its enthralling subject.
Nerdist
Kristy Puchko
Bombshell becomes not just a stupendous tribute to Lamarr, but also a tribute to every brilliant woman ignored.
