What an impeccable piece of journalistic work - how envious of so much express journalism! Even in the face of fast academic work.

Lately it seems that it is mandatory for films to be 2 hours or longer, regardless of whether they have a story to do so, which makes them boring when they shouldn't be. She Said is actually too long for what it's supposed to be, but somehow never boring.
There is always a constant movement and evolution to the story, we care about the characters, even those whose voices were always on the other side of the call. We find ourselves rooting for everything to be revealed, even though we know it was.

The film is based on true events, so for a reportage thriller, the slow action is not a problem. And although the topic is important, the question remains in the back of our minds who made the most money from this film and the drama it tells. ;>

Good performances. Tough watch, but necessary. Mulligan and Kazan were great.
7.3. I'm hearing many compare it to a tepid Spotlight, and I agree it's not on that level but still thought the execution of this story was better than most.

A strong movie that brings us closer to Weinstein's downfall.

It's difficult to judge a film of this magnitude, even from a cinematic perspective. It tells a heart-wrenching story. Twohey and Kantor compelled us to take a small step in the right direction, and its importance cannot be overstated.

Boring chronicle of the New York Times coverage of the Hollywood sex scandal that is manipulative (flashbacks showing the youth and innocence of the victims), with a tendency to turn journalists (mothers, wives, professionals...) into heroines. The story distorts the facts, and the absence of Rose McGowan, whose first complaints were silenced by The New York Times itself, is significant, and the film has no problem using audios published by The New Yorker, the newspaper that was competing in the commercial race for publishing the allegations, as if they were part of Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor's investigation.

Slow and repetitive, but probably for such an important theme it was impossible to do otherwise.

Is it me or was Carey Mulligan struggling with the American accent? I felt like she was over enunciating every word. Very distracting. However, despite a somewhat rocky directing this was good movie with great performances and a really likable cast.

They should have started the movie with Bill Clinton. He's the OG #MeToo :rofl:

The film felt like it was going in circles for 2 hours. Not as compelling as Spotlight.

Carey Mulligan on 'ludes . . . Needs do-over.

All the presidents women...

This is the film about Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, the two NYT journalists responsible for punching the whole in the dam that created the flood of testimony that would eventually wash up Harvey Weinstein and drown him in the tidal wave of evidence that drifted him to prison for 23 years.

A taut investigative story, I didn't see the time go by, probably because of how invested I was in the story. And I wasn't alone: the Paris theater where I saw She Said broke out into applause at the end of the film (and if you know anything about the infamous stoicism of Parisian audiences, you understood how big a deal that is).

There may have been a couple of scenes that were overly dramatic, whereas this story brings its own drama and doesn't need any boosts, but overall, the focus on the facts, processes, and skill of the reporters was a fitting tribute the story that changed the world and the women who inhabit it.

Packs an undeniable emotional wallop due to the nature of the story itself, but the film was a by-the-numbers retelling of the story with very little to recommend it from a cinematic perspective. Conversation here, conversation there, etc. that amounted to feeling like the actors were walking around reading the book so that the viewer would know what was happening. That said, both Braugher and Clarkson had excellent supporting performances showing the editorial decisions at play.

Great movie and a great score. I did not see the time going, I was glued to the screen.
