Cert 15 | ★★★✩✩

The story of how two New York Times journalists exposed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s history of abuse and sexual misconduct against women is told in this timely biopic from director Maria Schrader.

Written by British playwright Rebecca Lenkiewicz, She Said stars Zoe Kazan — granddaughter of legendary filmmaker Elia Kazan — as Jodi Kantor, while award-winning British actor Carey Mulligan plays Megan Twohey.

The film also features a powerful, if all too brief, turn from Samatha Morton as Zelda Perkins, Weinstein’s former assistant. Actor and femimist activist Ashley Judd plays herself.
