The real Monica Lewinsky serves as a producer on Impeachment and consulted on every script, but this is not an exercise in redemption.
Feldstein captures the reckless bravado of a young adult both emboldened by and crushed under the weight of an overwhelming infatuation.
The most empowering aspect of Impeachment’s depiction of Lewinsky may be its determination to show us a twenty-something woman in all her flawed, vulnerable humanity.
Though she’s burdened with a distracting prosthetic nose, [Annaleigh] Ashford is stunning as Paula Jones.
