When Lisa went to the special private screening that Universal
held for the film “She Said”, there was not a dry eye in the house
when the lights came up. The audience was moved by the story of how
two determined female reporters for The New York Times (played
flawlessly by Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan) finally got victims to
go on the record about how they had been assaulted and harassed by
then mega powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
We were moved by the sensitive and nuanced acting, the stealthy
script, restrained direction, and just the enormity of what the
story meant, and who it meant the most to — its far reaching
repercussions. Join Lisa and Dean as they not only break down the
most important aspects of the film….but Lisa has to take to task a
certain well known Hollywood journalist for their insensitive
comments dismissing the film asking “who is this movie for?”. Well
we are gonna tell you who it’s for, and why we hope it wins all the
Oscars! (We also love the rating which reads She Said, Rated
R for language, implied sexual violence and patriarchal horrors).
No seriously, it actually says that. Patriarchal horrors!
