A rock-solid investigative newspaper drama about and told by women, “She Said” makes a timely bow as its subject – or object – Harvey Weinstein faces further charges in Los Angeles having been sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2020 for rape and sexual assault.

This is the story of how New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor (Zoe Kazan) and Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan) brought those grotesque abuses of power to light, starting a process that has ignited a worldwide movement. Outside the story it chronicles, “She Said” also balances the record of, say, “All The President’s Men” or “Spotlight” with its two senior female reporters juggling their families while working with female victims in a crusade for women’s justice – for a female editor (Patricia Clarkson). Hopefully the same plaudits will come its way. It’s about time.
