“She Said” is a gripping account of the investigation by Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, and a tribute to his victims’ bravery
. “She Said” includes a real audio clip from a failed police sting of 2015, wherein Mr Weinstein harasses Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, a model. On screen, when Zelda Perkins , Rowena Chiu and Laura Madden speak to Ms Kantor or Ms Twohey, they describe the long shadow that Mr Weinstein’s violence has cast over their lives. After quitting Miramax, Mr Weinstein’s company, some chose not to work in the film industry again and to give up a profession they loved.
Ms Lenkiewicz has deftly adapted Ms Kantor’s and Ms Twohey’s book into a tale that is at once a gripping journalistic thriller and a deeply empathetic human drama. It conveys the painstaking, frustrating work that such an investigation requires. Ms Mulligan, as Ms Twohey, excels. Audiences, so far, have not flocked to cinemas to see “She Said”. It grossed $2.2m in its opening weekend in America, with pundits suggesting it is drawing on history that is too recent. Yet that has not deterred cinemagoers in the past. “All the President’s Men” was released in the immediate aftermath of the Watergate scandal and capitalised on Americans’ ongoing, profound interest in the story, taking $4.
Perhaps that is not surprising. After all, the unwillingness of colleagues, police officials, even loved ones to listen to accounts of sexual violence is a theme of “She Said”. “I talked in the past and nothing happened,” one woman avers; “I’ve been waiting for this for 25 years,” says another. Perhaps the greatest moment of catharsis in the film comes when an actress, Ashley Judd , agrees to be named in thearticle, and others follow suit.
