Scandale , a drama by Jay Roach, 1h48
In France, the affair did not mark consciences. However the fall for sexual harassment, in the summer of 2016, of Roger Ailes, the emblematic founder of the American conservative news channel Fox News, constitutes a preamble to the Weinstein affair and to the #MeToo movement. Dynamic, Scandale retraces, without getting lost in procedural meanders, the fight of journalists who have challenged this toxic masculinity erected in corporate culture. " It doesn't matter that you love me, as long as you believe me ," proclaims one of them. Never a vindicator, Scandale does not place its heroines on a pedestal. The film does not water down the distrust of whistleblowers among themselves, their political views, or their reluctance to upset the status quo. An ambivalence without revisionism carried by a fabulous trio of actresses: Margot Robbie, Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman.

The two young actors, Thomas Gioria and Fantine Harduin, give themselves entirely to these complex characters and perfectly transmit the complexity of their relationship, but also of their beings. The spectator cringes, finds himself helpless before this madness, this uncontrollable psychosis ... and uncontrolled. Love has rarely done so much harm.
