She Said (2022 Maria Schrader)

Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan dig up women willing to go on record about their experiences with Harvey Weinstein in true story based on NYT investigation / book, screenwritten by Rebecca Lenkiewicz. It's not exactly news to us, and is another in a line of journalistic investigation films beginning with All the President's Men and more recently manifested in The Post. The trouble with issue-led drama is that it can be overbalanced towards the issue rather than a drama - a dramatised documentary can result. And I think that's slightly the case here. Q started adding flashes of humour, and I think that would have helped.

With Patricia Clarkson, Ashley Judd, Samantha Morton, Jennifer Ehle, Andre Braugher, Zach Grenier.

Music by Nicholas Britell, DP Natasha Braier (Gloria Bell), editor Hansjörg Weißbrich.
