Hedy Lamarr was a Hollywood movie star who was hailed as the most beautiful and glamorous in the world. However, that was only the surface that tragically obscured her astounding true talents. Foremost of them was her inventive genius that a world blinded by her beauty could not recognize as far back as her youth in Austria with her homemade gadgets. This film explores Lamarr's life which included escaping a loveless marriage on the eve of Nazi Germany's conquest of her nation to a new career in Hollywood. However, her intellectual contributions were denied their due even when she offered them in the service of her new home during World War II. Only after years of career and personal decline in her troubled life would Lamarr learn that her staggering aptitude created brilliant engineering concepts that revolutionized telecommunications, which forced the world to realize the hidden abilities of a woman it had so unfairly underestimated.
Leave your thoughts about Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story.
| GuardianPeter BradshawLamarr was an enigma: a great brain trapped in a silly, spurious image of glamour, while her real talent was allowed to wither. A sad but fascinating story. |
| KDHX (St. Louis)Diane Carson... director/writer [Alexandra] Dean describes Lamarr's contributions to cinema and science with equal emphasis on both, a rare acknowledgement of Hedy's imaginative, insightful analysis of technological challenges. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThis moment of women rising up and taking control of their own empowerment is the perfect time to release a documentary about Hedy Lamarr. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderIt confirms her prowess as an inventor of much more than male fantasy. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Joule ZelmanBombshell becomes more somber as it progresses to Lamarr's post-fame life. Still, it's an essential re-examination of the fascinating woman obscured and cheapened by Hollywood mystique. |
| Shockya.comHarvey S. KartenThe film evokes sadness as we watch Hedy Lamarr, once considered the world's most beautiful woman, give up a chance to make big money on her major invention and withdraw from public life as she aged. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgThe real tragedy against humanity uncovered by Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story is the millions of ideas that never came to light because society refused to listen to women. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle"Bombshell” tells the story of a triumphant and consequential life. And there’s more: Everybody interviewed on camera about her apparently really liked her, especially her children. That’s no small achievement. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallThere is plenty for the film buff to enjoy...There is poignant film of Lamarr in her later years when she became a recluse, and a cheering finish with the ceremony at which her discovery was finally acknowledged. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe penultimate moments of “Bombshell” are moving, re-creating the lost Vienna of Kiesler’s childhood and overlaying the voice of the aging Lamarr, interviewed by an Austrian news team in 1970, as she speaks of never being understood in America. Adrift in the Land of the Lotus Eaters, she spent a lifetime being looked at and never once being seen. |
