She Said

This movie is about how journalism works. The work of journalists, not just a talking head on television, but the effort involved in uncovering a story and getting the collaboration of what they are reporting on. This isn't the story of the 5 o'clock evening news that is heard and quickly forgotten. The strength of the movie is how they showed the difficulty in getting the women to come forward, and the substantial power those in control hold over others. I suspect from when this movie came out, that the postscripts at the end were to be sort of a recap. Instead, I found them much too rosy assumptions of what will be accomplished from getting the story out. In reality, this is only the beginning of a long and difficult task ahead to benefit all in society. A good pairing for this film would be Bombshell (2019).
