A song from Matilda the Musical kept running through my head as I watched this by turns distressing and laugh-out-loud-funny thriller. “Even if you’re little you can do a lot...” it goes. “If you sit around and let them get on top, you might as well be saying you think that’s okay... and if it’s not right, you have to put it right.”
In She Said, New York Times’ journalists Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan) and Jodi Kantor (Zoe Kazan) are investigating the horrific crimes of Harvey Weinstein. The real life Kantor and Twohey, with a lot of help, eventually succeeded in bringing down one of Hollywood’s biggest bullies; and they did so because they were smart and tenacious, but also because the Miramax supremo was so in love with his own size and strength.
