She forces Claire to go out with Mike, a co-worker. Slowly, Michelle becomes distant from Claire and Rachel. She started making decisions with their help. Due to some misunderstanding Michelle accused Claire of selling the company to Renault. However, this was not true. So to take revenge from Claire, Michelle sold the company to Renault. When the misunderstanding cleared, she came full of guilt and regrets. She offered to steal the papers. Along with Mike, Michelle entered Renault’s office and stole the documents but Renault stopped her when she was leaving the country. In the fight, he pushed Michelle off the building and she died. Afterwards, Claire and Rachel handled the business.

Analysis

The Boss is a fantastic movie. The story’s plot is exciting and compelling. The best part of the movie was the humor. For laughter, the film is fantastic. However, the film did contain some lame comedy. Overall, the movie’s plot is simple to understand and visualize. The acting skills of the main lead and the supporting cast were terrific. Other supporting cast have also delivered nuanced performances throughout the movie. The movie does have many interesting characters. The moral value in the movie is the women empowerment as the main lead who is a woman builds her business twice all by herself even though she didn’t have any family.

Not only the script, but the execution of the movie is also top-notch. The cinematography is incredible, as well. The filmmakers showed the comedic scenes beautifully. The soundtracks in the film are pretty good as they fit in the tone of the script.

What’s There?

  • The movie’s script is pretty humorous and laughable.
  • The movie's execution is fantastic, too.
  • It also touched on the theme of women empowerment as the main lead is a very mindful woman.
  • The soundtracks of the film are amazing. They fit in the script’s tone.
  • The movie’s pace is just perfect.
  • The cinematography is compelling as well.

What's not there?

  • The movie is pure comedy, it doesn’t have any meaning in it.

Verdict

The movie’s plot is quite interesting. It is suitable for some belly laughs. So, the comedic will not disappoint you. One should watch this movie for fun.
