* AcclaimedFlop: It earned great reviews and became an awards contender (downright winning an Academy Award for its make-up). But given its main subject is both political and uncomfortable, and attempts to make the movie a "fun" look at {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s a la ''Film/TheWolfOfWallStreet'' and ''Film/TheBigShort'' didn't catch on, it only earned its $32 million budget domestically and couldn't even double it with the international numbers.

* ApprovalOfGod: Zig-zagged. Megyn Kelly hosted a thirty minute panel of herself, Douglas Brunt, Gretchen Carlson, Julie Zann and Rudi Bakhtiar discussing what the movie got right.
** Julie Zann was in tears as she said that the reality was much worse than depicted in the film, and that "they let Roger off easy". Megyn Kelly was annoyed at the scene depicting Kayla blaming her for not speaking up, calling it victim blaming. She criticised some liberties taken with facts; such as the scene where she tells Murdoch the question she plans to ask Donald Trump. In reality, she didn't tell him in advance and he didn't like the question; in fact warning her "no more female empowerment stuff" afterwards.
** All of them laughed at the scene where Irena Brigante said she couldn't discredit an anchor she's paid to promote, calling it "the number one thing they got wrong"; Gretchen saying that "she was the queen of hitting talent" and that anything bad printed about talent was likely written by Irena.
** Rudi however called it "a powerful movie" and everyone admitted to being in tears at the scene in the elevator. Megyn also praised Mark Duplass for his portrayal of her husband.
