Review of She Said (2022) by Jluis_001 — 21 Nov 2022

The urgency of the subject matter it presents will no doubt cause many to turn their faces away from the more blatant defects of this drama, because it certainly tries, but I'm sorry, this ain't All the President's Men.

She Said is more interested in reminding you that the women involved were very brave - which is never in doubt - as it goes through a myriad of irrelevant scenes, such as the constant back and forth in cars and trains while the lead actresses pretend to be typing, because as I mentioned, its creators believe that the exposition of the theme is above how it is presented in narrative form.

Perhaps that's indifferent to many people, but I think Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor's investigative and journalistic work deserved more than a basic cinematic treatment that is more interested in positioning itself as an awards season contender, rather than a crucial and informative film about the situation at the time and that clearly played a pivotal role in the now-known aftermath of Harvey Weinstein's fate.

And in the end, it does not have any real repercussions within the system when we have the knowledge that this was well known by the industry, and it is known that it continues to happen with those who protect these people.

Weinstein fell because there was a lot to hide, because there were people that investigated and because maybe he wasn't as powerful as he thought to make all the research go away, but in the meantime who judges the enablers?

She Said isn't a bad movie, but it's nothing more than a simple recreation of something you could basically be reading on Wikipedia.
