Just perfect...

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I am aware that this will be an unpopular opinion, but maybe someone else agrees with me:"I want to sell my life story to Ted Turner." This is one of the first quotes we hear from Hedy. I was open to learning about this woman's life because I love biographical documentaries, however the tone of this seemed very contrived. She wanted so badly to be a famous movie star. She went about this by having risqué photos taken and putting her best dresses and jewelry on while strutting about to gain that attention. Then when her plan works out for her and she's got what she wanted, she is dissatisfied because people don't appreciate how intellectual she is... I'm sorry but she comes off as an obnoxious, unhappy brat to me. And I don't buy it that she "invented" all these groundbreaking technologies. Puff piece

Fascinating documentary on the gorgeous, brilliant, and complicated screen star Hedy Lamarr. Her beauty was known to all, even serving as the inspiration for the face of Disney's Snow White. Yet few, including myself , knew of her inventing genius, and how one of her patents (frequency hopping) would serve in later years as an important part of cell phone, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and military technology. All in all, I thought this was an exceptional documentary filled with surprises.

Many film lovers ONLY know Hedy Lamarr the actress whose face lite up the silver screen. Few knew of her contribution to our digital/wireless/blue-tooth enabled world through her inventive mind. Bombshell is that very story wrapped around her cinematic career. The director delivers a wonderful documentary of the great Hedy Lamarr.

Having never heard of Hedy Lamarr until discovering her by accident whilst researching some topics on the web, I was firstly in admiration of her beauty. My first reaction was "WOW". She is one perfectly, visual lady. There are many stunning women across the globe and Hollywood is a haven for them and we don't need to ask why. My initial vision of this lady immediately drew me in and I had a compulsion to find out more about who she was and what she did. The movie, which I found intriguing, brought a mixture of emotions at times both inspiring and saddening. There were comical parts (I won't spoil it by mentioning them) it was a sweet moment. It came at a point in the movie which (for me) was perfectly, sweet moment.In Hedy and her life, I see a lady who was obviously discontented due to so many marriages. Beauty - Albeit is known largely to be a blessing for some who have it but, sadly, it can be a curse for some when people fail to look beyond the physical appearances. This presentation proved this and it was no doubt the central theme.What I also noticed in Hedy, was a lady who spent her life aiming to please and to be somebody she wanted to be and at the same time, not realising just how good she was. We must remember that in the time of her life, women were expected to be 'ladies' and venturing into a man's line of work was unheard of. I think Hedy broke the ultimate taboo and pushed the boundaries of what she was 'expected' to be. Beauty comes naturally. Brains are something else.Hedy had both and it showed because she never let anybody set limits for her.
