Still from She Said

Film: She Said
Cast: Carey Mulligan, Zoe Kazan, Patricia Clarkson, Andre Barugher, Jennifer Ehle, Samantha Morton, Ashley Judd
Director: Maria Schrader
Rating: *3.5/5
Runtime: 128 mins

This film based on the New York Times investigation by reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor (who both garnered a Pulitzer Prize for this work), is a faithful representation of the manner in which one of the most important stories in our generation — a story that helped launch the #MeToo movement, developed and broke into an ongoing public outcry. The story helped shatter decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood and created a ripple effect in movie industries and other organisations all across the globe.

Directed by Maria Schrader and written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, this film is adapted from the 2019 non-fiction book “She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement,” written by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. The report basically exposed accusations against Weinstein for crimes and misdeeds against women (including some of Weinstein’s former employees alongside famous actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Ashley Judd) spanning several decades, from as far back as the 1980s.
