So good! Better than I expected even with the hype
Aside from a slight pacing issue, something I find with basically all of these journo dramas, this is probably the new gold star for the genre. Spotlight is what I routinely think of , typically - but I think this strikes even better of a balance, possibly simply because the two female protagonists are just more interesting than the ones in that movie.
This is grounded and present and doesn't pump the artificial drama. I also really like that they never show Weinstein and that a lot of the focus is before what the general intellect knows about this affair (at least, for me, anyway). The script is good the acting is solid. The only strange thing to me was that only Judd appeared as herself. You might expect a film like this to reintroduce actresses black balled by Weinstein possibly - but then again, maybe they didn't want to appear. Who knows. Either way, Judd is a heck of a person. Brass bravery right there.
