Maria Schrader directs the adaptation of the book by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the New York Times reporters who exposed Harvey Weinstein’s abuse.
That Brad Pitt through Plan B produce this film about Harvey Weinstein and the report of The New York Times that he brought his sexual abuse to light says a lot about the omerta that reigned in Hollywood over this guy (and who knows how many like him). Because Pitt knew before most – through Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie – how he spent it. And he continued to collaborate with him. But one day the victims dare to speak, and a tsunami is unleashed that you can only be part of.
If references to the journalistic genre such as ‘All the President’s Men’ or ‘Spotlight’ showed the gears of the investigation in detail, in this case the narrative weight falls on the statements of the women, with memorable monologues, like that of Samantha Morton or Ashley Judd, playing herself. Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan in the shoes of journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor (Pulitzer winners for this report) are the engine that drives a plot that balances action and emotion. More monitoring of quasi-mafia methods is missed that Weinstein applied against them, because the film grows in those moments.
