She Said Reviews

The film’s screenplay is not always a triumph – it sometimes feels as though some of the monologuing about truth, sexism, abuse and journalism is being stuffed into the characters’ mouths – but this can be forgiven when their messages are so striking.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

You know the end going in. That said, it’s watchable, because it’s interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of how they managed to take down one of the most powerful men in the entertainment industry.

Maria Schrader chronicles the story surrounding the wider emergence of the Me Too movement in She Said, her seismic investigative film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2024

It has its flaws, but the performances are great, the score is emotive, and it handles its subject matter with care.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2024

director Maria Schrader frames it as a distinct betrayal because an innocent gets lured in by the wonder of movie magic, which makes her an audience surrogate. Schrader is galvanizing our outrage since we too came to the movies to be amazed, not exploited

Poised to be one of the definitive films of the #MeToo era.

An imperative account of Weinstein’s abuse that gives his victims the time to speak.

The two female leads make for great scene partners whose characters are tasked with unpeeling each devastating layer of the various testimonies while trying to minimize their own emotional fallout in the process.

She Said will move you; dig deeper, however, and you’ll find that films like She Said just want to tell a nice story — extra points for girl boss moments if you got them.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Sep 19, 2023

It all works because Mulligan and Kazan bring such credible performances to the film. Mulligan is always good and Kazan's performance keeps pace with her.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 9, 2023

While the film adeptly touches on the deafening silence with which sexual assault and harassment operate, its lack of style and technical prowess hinders the breadth and depth of emotion it seeks to attain.

| Aug 7, 2023

Condensing, combining and streamlining are expected elements of movie storytelling, but She Said works toward a composite that validates as many facts and details as possible within the limitations of the feature film format.

| Jul 27, 2023

The film is anything but flashy. But sometimes substance matters when style is clouded by the truth of the moment.

| Jul 25, 2023

Overall this film is a guide for how to deal with the topics of sexual assault and harassment in media that does not exploit or dehumanize women.

| Jul 25, 2023

She Said should have been scathing, a full-blown, overflowing, boiling pot of rage. Instead, it’s lukewarm, never as damning as it could be and never as critical as it should be.

| Jul 24, 2023

She Said is a brutally vulnerable film with women front and center as it reveals the importance of persistence, resistance, and the true meaning of steadfastly using one’s voice for divulgences that will change the world for the better.

| Jul 23, 2023

She Said is remarkably restrained, almost muted.

| Feb 27, 2023

Even though the subject could lead to sensationalist scenes, the film does not fall into this category, showing a fine discretion that brings the case to the level it deserves. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 13, 2023

…She Said does an effective job of evoking the ghosts of the past to warn us that our precarious present is very much open to the very same kind of exploitation of the young….

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 8, 2023

Like all of the great films about journalism, She Said is a fascinating picture that explores the challenges of working in journalism...investigative reporters follow their leads until they can put together a firm and unimpeachable story.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 6, 2023
