Leave your thoughts about She Said.
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshWith care, thoughtfulness and rigor, Schrader and the filmmakers of She Said craft a film that shows the process of building this paradigm-shifting piece of journalism in a manner that is simultaneously thrilling and grindingly methodical, aided greatly by Nicholas Britell’s score. |
| ABC NewsPeter TraversDespite some pokey pacing, the fierce human drama of how two female reporters, superbly acted by Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, persuaded women to go on the record about being sexually harassed by producer Harvey Weinstein is the year's most gripping detective story. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsI hoped for a movie relatively free of Hollywood hogwash and melodramatics, and got it. What I didn’t expect was the calm brilliance of scenes such as Jennifer Ehle and Samantha Morton, playing two of Weinstein’s 1990s targets, telling their stories so truthfully, with such economical emotional punch, that it’s both heartbreaking and enough to make you seethe. |
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowIt is in no way a criticism to say that this is a solid, conventional film, skillfully made. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreSchrader lets her players do the heavy lifting, and to a one, they don’t let her down. The women of this scandal and this movie about reporting it make She Said a thoroughly engrossing account of how one of the touchstone stories of our time came to light, one door knocked-on, one tearful recollection at a time. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandThat Weinstein’s downfall was the product of diligent reporting, dogged persistence, and the resilience of a few brave souls is essential to remember. In Maria Schrader’s artful and incendiary She Said, we’re reminded of something else that makes for one hell of a movie: It was women who did it. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayShe Said takes a story we thought we knew and gives it new, utterly shattering life. |
| The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldIt’s a moving and engaging film about finding truth, told through the perspective of two people who are very, very good at their jobs. |
| Original-CinJim SlotekShe Said is about cracking the code of silence, and the flood that follows when it breaks. |
| Vanity FairRichard LawsonIf that storytelling decision was made so there was more room for the intimate human factor, then it was an understandable one. She Said has a calmly insistent moral clarity, earned through its patient empathy, its quiet awe not at the insidiousness of what Weinstein did, but at the mettle and courage of the women who endured it—and then spoke out about it. |
