She Said [Movie Review]


She Said [Movie Review] | I'm not the one that likes to watch documentaries. But if they make a movie based on true events, I would be there to watch the drama and all.

So, this one is also a natural choice for me.

When Jodi receives a tip that Rose McGowan was sexually assaulted by producer Harvey Weinstein, she immediately go to the source for confirmation. Rose however declines to comment, but later calls Jodi back to share her traumatic experience with the producer when she was 23. She later tracks down Ashley Jodd and Gwyneth Paltrow, who also shares their unfortunate encounters with the producer, and both request not to be named in the article, fearing that they will be sidelined or worse blacklisted in the industry. Jodi then recruits Megan Twohey to help her with the piece. 

Megan tracks down staff of Miramax who have disappeared - among which assistant to the producer and the former CFO of Miramax but to no avail. Twohey soon learns that Harvey have connections in various offices to drown all criminal complaints against him.

Jodi even flies out to meet former assistants of Harvey's - some shared a bit of their stories but mostly refused to share the whole story as they have signed NDA while working with Miramax. 

They managed to track down staff and actresses with the same traumatic experiences, but none was brave enough to come out and voice out the truth.

Will they be able to take down the giant?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0 A straight-forward story but when the ladies share their encounters, it adds the drama and some twists into it. 

Cast: 4.5/ 5.0 Great job to all, and bravo to Ashley Judd as she appears as herself to tell her story.

Will I Watch It Again: Yes, I don't mind watching it again, whenever I need a serious me time.

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
