Where to Watch She Said
- Kevin WardApril 3, 2023On the surface She Said would seem to be about the New York Times journalists that broke the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal, but this really is not a journalism drama akin to Spotlight or All the President’s Men. Though the film is experienced through the lens of journalists Jodi Kantor (Zoe Kazan) and Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan), Director Maria Schrader chooses to focus the attention on the courageous women who dared to tell their stories—Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Zelda Perkins, Rowena Chiu, Laura Madden. Though this doesn’t make for a tension filled edge of your seat drama the way the aforementioned films are, it does well to honor some of these women at the center of one of the most important stories of our generation. Samantha Morton as Zelda Perkins, Jennifer Ehle as Laura Madden and of course, Ashley Judd as herself, each have some incredibly moving scenes as they wrestle with whether or not to go on the record. Kazan and Mulligan are very good. I liked the inclusion of their personal stories, the stress of being working mom’s, dealing with postpartum depression, etc. But their performances are appropriately reserved to not take the spotlight from the heroes of this story. Highly recommend. Just don’t go in expecting a tense journalism thriller.
