actor poignantly returning to the screen

It’s been five years since the flames of the #MeToo reckoning were fanned by the New York Times exposé of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein for sexual assault, so it was inevitable that Hollywood would commit this story to its own cinematic record. She Said, directed by Maria Schrader and written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, is a powerful adaptation of She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, the 2019 book by Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey that recounts how they broke the explosive story, with Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan playing the intrepid reporters.
