The inevitable Harvey Weinstein scandal movie
I thought this was... fine. Very similar in all respects to Bombshell from last year. It was well acted, but it didn't say anything that a documentary couldn't, and it had that problem where the characters were constantly speaking in exposition. I would have preferred less on the buildup and more on the aftermath, it felt like it stopped just around the point where it was getting really good.
It also made me laugh how these two young mothers were constantly just abandoning their children to chase the story around the world. I guess the journalists really did that, but if they were going to include it at all as a plot point I wish they'd explored it a bit more.
