She Said (2022), directed by Maria Schrader

In 2016-17 New York Times investigative reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor uncovered decades of sexual abuse and bullying by powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. They also exposed the toxic system of cover-up and silencing by his company Miramax and the wider film industry, that enabled him to get away with it for so long. Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan are credible as the dedicated journalists, who persisted despite threats and stonewalling and the fear of victims who can’t or won’t go on the record. The supporting cast includes Patricia Clarkson and Andre Braugher as their supportive bosses and Jennifer Ehle, Samantha Morton and Ashley Judd, playing herself, as the brave women who came forward with evidence. Their work contributed to Weinstein’s jailing, as well as exposure and amendment of the egregious system of Non-Disclosure Agreements. This is a solid film that tells an important story of an element of the Me Too movement and of a rare case of accountability and justice in this arena.
