    Movie Review

    #MeToo movement comes full circle in Oscar-worthy newsroom drama 'She Said'

    Alex Bentley
    Nov 17, 2022 | 1:27 pm

    Since the #MeToo movement got kicked into full gear in 2017, a number of films have attempted to grapple with the fallout in direct and indirect ways, including The Assistant, which centered on a fictitious movie production company, and Bombshell, which looked at the culture within Fox News. But the new film She Said is the first to tackle what started it all, the investigative piece about movie producer Harvey Weinstein in the New York Times by reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor.

    The film – directed by Maria Schrader and written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz – takes a deep dive on the lengths Twohey (Carey Mulligan) and Kantor (Zoe Kazan) go to uncover as many of Weinstein’s sexual misdeeds as they can. However, it does so in a way that makes the ordinary feel extraordinary.

    Right from the start, the story establishes the two reporters as great at their jobs and well-respected by their peers, something they accomplish without ever including even a line explaining how they got to be who they are. At the same, each is shown to be a devoted wife and mother, demonstrating that the two roles are not mutually exclusive, a basic idea that still tends to not be understood by many in society.

    This early personalization is crucial, as it gives the characters the credibility and emotional bandwidth to handle the difficult road on which they’re about to travel. The film is full of quick scenes that do an amazing job of giving all the necessary details of the story without getting bogged down in exposition. It also delivers a bunch of emotional gut punches, sometimes with little-to-no set-up, an extremely difficult accomplishment made to look easy by the talented filmmakers.

    The film demonstrates how hard it is for women, even established movie stars, to fend off the advances of a powerful predator and to overcome the system designed to protect such people. Schrader and Lenkiewicz include a number of haunting flashback scenes, sometimes narrated by the words of the victims themselves, that underscore this idea, sequences that mostly don’t show anything but the spaces in which Weinstein abused his power.

    The film could also be considered a master class in how to be a good journalist. Time after time, Twohey and Kantor are shown engaging in empathetic yet persistent interviews. The patience they have, not just with women reluctant to come forward but also with Weinstein and his protectors, could be considered a movie convention, but as presented it never once feels false.

    It would seem that Mulligan, a two-time Oscar nominee, is supposed to be the star of the film, and while she’s typically great, it’s Kazan who steals the show. She’s had stand-out moments before in films like Ruby Sparks and The Big Sick, but she takes her acting to a completely different level here. Also terrific in supporting roles are Patricia Clarkson, Andre Braugher, and Jennifer Ehle.

    She Said is an astonishing feat of filmmaking, bringing big drama out of a story with which many people are already intimately familiar. It deserves to be nominated for a slew of Oscars, with Kazan and Mulligan leading the way.

    Dallas Wings' new basketball star Paige Bueckers gets warm welcome

    The Dallas Wings No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers brings big hopes for fans in the 2025 season

    The newest member of women's basketball team the Dallas Wings is already making waves: Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, was welcomed with a press conference at Dallas City Hall on April 23 - part of the Dallas Wings' official introduction of the rookie class.

    The team will also be playing their June 27 game against the Indiana Fever - featuring superstar Caitlin Clark - at American Airlines Center in Dallas, rather than their usual home arena at College Park Center on the UT Arlington campus.

    Fans will have to pony up the big bucks for that epic game, with the price for two tickets starting at $255, although the upper 300 level has not yet been opened for sale. Those wanting to sit near the floor behind the baseline will run themselves a pretty $1,205 for two seats.

    After Clark joined the WNBA in 2024, almost half of the other teams in the league moved their home games against the Fever to larger arenas. All of the other Wings home games are currently scheduled to take place at College Park Center.

    If all goes as planned, 2025 will be the last season for the Wings at that venue. In 2024, the team announced plans to move to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas Memorial Arena in Dallas, starting with the 2026 season.

    Bueckers joins the Wings after closing out her college career by winning her first national championship, with Connecticut dominating the previous champions, South Carolina, 82-59. She's considered by many to be the league's next superstar.

    The 2025 Dallas Wings season comes with much anticipation. Since the end of the 2024 season, the Wings have revamped their front office, which included the hiring of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Curt Miller and Head Coach Chris Koclanes. In addition to the 2025 WNBA Draft Class, Miller made significant roster moves during free agency which included signing reigning WNBA Most Improved Player DiJonai Carrington, 2022 All-Rookie Team pick NaLyssa Smith, former Wings guard Tyasha Harris and 2020 All-WNBA Second Team member Myisha Hines-Allen.
