After their 2017 exposé of the horrors Harvey Weinstein inflicted upon women for decades, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey detailed their process in their 2019 book She Said. Post-pandemic, Maria Schrader directed an adaptation that reflected the lives of both reporters in tandem with their work and their struggle to get women on the record about the case. With a strong and sprawling ensemble led by Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan, the film was ultimately met with polite but less than effusive reviews. This episode, we talk about the film’s struggle with depicting expository process and the perhaps unavoidable comparisons to Spotlight. We also discuss Mulligan’s category fraud campaign in Supporting Actress, Samantha Morton giving one-scene barnburner, and the film’s use of actors in the roles of familiar names in the case. Topics also include the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, Ashley Judd playing herself, and MVP Jennifer Ehle.
