Five years after a pair of exposés revealed Harvey Weinstein's long trail of sexual abuse of women, 'She Said,' a film that dramatizes the dogged fight to uncover years of allegations against the movie mogul, premiered at the New York Film Festival.
The 70-year-old Weinstein is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2020 for committing a criminal sexual act and third-degree rape.
“It was very validating that someone finally wanted to listen and do something about it,” Judd added. “The film was the next step in that.” But the array of women on stage — including the stars, the Times reporters, director Maria Schrader and screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz — made a powerful statement. “She Said” follows the ups and downs of Kantor and Twohey’s persistent investigation, battling against a decades-old wall-of-silence, a litany of NDAs and Weinstein’s own belligerent responses.
“She Said” follows in the tradition of investigative journalism films like “All the President’s Men” and “Spotlight,” with the notable difference that its protagonists are women balancing their 24/7 work lives with their young families. The film takes care to show the reporters as hard-working professionals not so unlike the young, ambitious women Weinstein preyed on.
