☆ Michael Showalter on 'the Idea of You' Controversial Ending, 'Wet Hot'
  + stars: | 2024-05-04 | by ( Caralynn Matassa | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +12 min
Michael Showalter kept acting long after he realized he didn't want to do it anymore — mostly because he needed to eat. Showalter got his start in college doing sketch comedy as a member of The State (formerly The New Group). Fast forward roughly two decades and Showalter has found himself right where he was always meant to be. But as I grew older, it was a combination of I wasn't getting cast in things, but I also wasn't really needing to get cast in things. Is there any one moment where you realized acting wasn't what you loved doing?

☆ ‘She Said’ Review: Plodding Through the Weinstein Story
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( Kyle Smith | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Major movie studios hardly ever delve into newspaper work any more, and the so-so picture “She Said” is an excellent illustration of why. It falls into nearly every trap that awaits a journalism film, even featuring sequences in which characters type or stand around gazing into computer monitors, both of which exert considerable deflationary pull on drama. Since watching people ask questions leaves viewers at one remove from the story, the solution to the possibility of dramatic deficiency is either to make the journalists themselves abundantly colorful (“His Girl Friday,” “The Paper”) or to cast them as detectives who devise enterprising means to solve a complex puzzle (“All the President’s Men,” “Spotlight”). “She Said,” directed by the German actress and filmmaker Maria Schrader , errs by ignoring both paths. Portraying the New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor , who in 2017 broke the story about producer Harvey Weinstein ’s sexual misconduct, Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan are so aggressively ordinary that they leave a personality void at the center of this disappointing film.
☆ 'She Said' review: Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan star as the New York Times reporters who helped break the Harvey Weinstein story
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
“She Said” nevertheless joins a long tradition of movies about dogged reporters exposing injustice, and in this case helping spawn a sweeping movement. The film is adapted from the book by New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, which might explain why the work of Ronan Farrow is mentioned but conspicuously shortchanged. Setting that aside, the heart of “She Said,” which begins with Twohey (Carey Mulligan) reporting on Donald Trump, centers on her collaboration with Kantor (Zoe Kazan) to lay bare the predatory behavior of Harvey Weinstein. Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan play New York Times reporters in the fact-based movie "She Said." (The film’s producers include Brad Pitt, who has spoken of confronting Weinstein back when he was dating Gwyneth Paltrow.)
☆ 'She Said' debuts at New York Film Festival
  + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( Marianne Garvey | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
CNN —“She Said,” based on the book on the New York Times investigation into Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct, made its premiere at the 2022 New York Film Festival on Oct. 13. In 2020, the former movie producer was convicted of rape in a New York trial. “She Said” recounts the 2017 New York Times investigation that exposed decades of sexual abuse by Weinstein. Zoe Kazan plays Times journalist Jodi Kantor and Carey Mulligan is investigative reporter Megan Twohey. Also in attendance at the premiere was Ashley Judd, who participated on the record for the Times’ exposé.
☆ 'She Said' movie highlights the women who took on Harvey Weinstein
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The movie is based on the 2019 book of the same name about the New York Times investigation into claims of sexual misconduct by Weinstein, then one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood. After the Times story broke, some 100 women came forward with accusations of sexual misconduct by Weinstein. The reporting fueled the #MeToo movement, with women around the world calling out sexual harassment. Weinstein, who has denied having non-consensual sex with anyone, was sentenced in New York in March 2020 to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault involving two women. Weinstein is currently on trial in California on additional charges of sexual misconduct.
