Directed by Maria Schrader, with a sharp and sensitive screenplay by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, She Said, starring Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, is a brilliant film that honors the real-life journalists who first exposed the allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein. On the one hand, She Said isn’t innovative or ground-breaking as a film, considering it follows the footsteps of predecessors like All The President’s Men and even the newer 2016 Oscar’s Best Picture winner, Spotlight. On the other hand, there’s no denying that the story is intimately poignant in a way that makes it particularly powerful.

The story behind She Said isn’t a surprise to anyone walking into the film, but the emotions it evokes stick a potent landing in many of our psyches. Mulligan and Kazan play New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor with such tasteful empathy that if everything else didn’t work out in the film (which it does), the performances would make every moment worth it. The thing about Harvey Weinstein is that whether you’re working in the industry or a mere casual fan, you’ve at least heard whispers about the atrocities. The world knows what men like him do behind closed doors, and they have been, for a long, long time, trying to protect him from the inside for reasons that will forever be damaging to women and minority groups.

She Said (2022, dir. Maria Schrader) - review by Rookie-Critic

She Said was a very well done, if not at times clinical, re-telling of one of the most important moments in modern equal rights history. Following the story of Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey's groundbreaking article on the atrocities of ex-Miramax head Harvey Weinstein, She Said follows in the footsteps of films like All the President's Men and The Post (the latter of which I will admit I have not seen) as a movie showing the challenges of getting the truth out there no matter the cost, and I found it to be incredibly well done. Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan (to no one's surprise) are absolutely dynamite as the leading duo, each bringing a unique perspective on the story at hand. This wasn't just a story for them, it was personal, as it probably is to every woman on the face of the planet that's ever had a male superior in the workplace.

The movie hits when it needs to, is reserved when it should be, and allows its central duo to breathe and have a life of their own outside of just being the vehicles for truth in this story. It works so well because of this fact; it was so important to portray Kantor and Twohey not just as journalists, but as humans themselves, as women themselves, women who understand the weight of what they were on the brink of uncovering, and what it could mean not only for the film industry, but for the way women are treated in the workplace at large. As the film points out several times, this goes so much deeper than the film industry and is not just about Weinstein, but about the system protecting the abusers and not the abused. Shoutouts also have to go to Jennifer Ehle, Samantha Morton, and Angela Yeoh, who played Laura Madden, Zelda Perkins, and Rowena Chu, who are just a few of the women who suffered at the hands of Harvey Weinstein. Patricia Clarkson and Andre Braugher also deserve praise for their performances as Rebecca Corbett and Dean Baquet, the assistant editor and executive editor at the New York Times who oversaw the production of the Weinstein piece.

If I had one criticism of the film, it's that, for all of its very effective pathos and ethos, the film tends to be quite cold when it comes to the journalistic side of things. Portraying the profession itself as something that is harshly non-emotive, which I can definitely see the argument that it needs to be, and ultimately that's not quite what the focus of the film is on, so it feels like a nitpick. Even with that one small complaint, She Said surprised me in being better than expected and making me feel something other than anger, which I of course still felt a lot of.

Score: 9/10

Currently available to rent or purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and to pre-order on DVD & Blu-ray through Universal Studios.

She Said (dir. Maria Schrader).

Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan portray New York Times investigative reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor who broke the disturbing sexual misconduct allegations against now-disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Based on their original reporting and 2019 book of the same name, this is a traditional, no-nonsense journalists’ chronicle of five months of chasing leads, dogged reporting, and uncovering sources.

Schrader and screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz focus on evidence gathering and years of background information while referencing the greater #MeToo movement that revealed so many sexual predators in greater society. It’s a reckoning captured matter-of-factly on the streets of New York, in non-descript conference rooms, and front doors slammed in faces as seen through the dynamic lead performances drawn as both working parents and protectors. It’s a standard but impassioned journalism procedural drama based on facts and determined reportage.

She Said

She Said    [trailer]

New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor break one of the most important stories in a generation - a story that helped ignite a movement and shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood.

I can understand that maybe people don't want to see a movie about this topic. But it's very well made. Not flashy, but still gripping, giving a good understanding how investigative reporting works.

And it gives a vivid idea under what pressure the women were and their fear, and how the industry systematically suppressed their voices. It's very well worth watching.

Can Gen X Women Play Gen X Women, Please?

Could we consider casting age appropriate women please? And thank you. #GenerationX #GenX #women #movie

It was the publicity photo that filled me with rage. In it, star reporters, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, stand like bookends around actors, Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, who are leaning on a ladder. I’ve got nothing against ladders or any of the people involved but still the photo made me mad. Here we have two of our Gen X heroes, two women who heroically chased down a thorny story, putting…

"She Said"

Instead of offering new insight, the film fades into the void of forgettable procedural journalism films.

Important subject matter doesn’t always translate to a good movie, and “She Said” is a botched attempt at retelling the true story of two New York Times reporters who took down the infamous Hollywood abuser, Harvey Weinstein. It’s something with which the industry is very familiar, and the years of sexual misconduct that the two women uncovered is horrifying. It was one of the most important…

She Said (15): Sex and the Casting Couch.

#onemannsmovies review of "She Said" (2022). #SheSaidFilm. The gripping journalism that caught Weinstein's and started "Me Too". 4.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “She Said” (2022). “She Said” is a movie in the great tradition of films about investigative journalism, so has many similarities with “The Post“, “Spotlight” and (my own personal favourite) “All the President’s Men”. Bob the Movie Man Rating(s): Plot Summary: Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan) is a tenacious investigative journalist with a particular focus on sexual…
