About She Said Movie:
She Said is an American drama film directed by Maria Schrader and written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz. The film stars Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan as Twohey and Kantor, respectively, and follows their New York Times investigation that exposed Harvey Weinstein’s history of abuse and sexual misconduct against women.
The film is based on the 2019 book of the same title by reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey.
In April 2018, the film’s production companies, Annapurna and Plan B, partnered to acquire the rights to the story even before the book was published.
Filming took place in New York in July 2021 with cinematographer Natasha Braier. The film was shot in the real New York Times building and is the first movie ever to use the real offices.
The film cast includes three Oscar nominees: Carey Mulligan, Patricia Clarkson, and Samantha Morton.
She Said had its world premiere at the 60th New York Film Festival on October 13, 2022, and was released in the United States on November 18, 2022, by Universal Pictures.
The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the screenplay and the performances of Kazan and Mulligan. She Said was also named one of the best films of 2022 by the American Film Institute. However, it was a box office flop, grossing $13 million against a production budget of $32 million.
The film was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Mulligan and Best Adapted Screenplay for Lenkiewicz at the 76th British Academy Film Awards. It also earned Mulligan a Golden Globe Award nomination and Lenkiewicz a Critics’ Choice Award nomination.
The film was made available for VOD on December 6, 2022, followed by a Blu-ray and DVD release on January 10, 2023.
