“She Said” will make its world premiere at the 2022 New York Film Festival. From Emmy-winning “Unorthodox” helmer Maria Schrader, the drama revisits how New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the 2017 Harvey Weinstein story that rocked Hollywood and beyond, bringing Tarana Burke’s #MeToo movement to the mainstream and kickstarting conversations about sexual assault, consent, and workplace harassment.
Starring Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, the pic is based on Kantor and Twohey’s book of the same name. Rebecca Lenkiewicz (“Ida”) penned the adaptation.
“She Said” is screening in NYFF’s Spotlight section. Other titles in the program include “Till,” Chinonye Chukwu’s biopic of Mamie Till-Mobley, the mother of Emmett Till, and “Women Talking,” Sarah Polley’s drama about women from a remote Mennonite community reckoning with the aftermath of a series of sexual assaults.
“She Said” is slated to hit theaters November 18.
NYFF runs September 30-October 16.
