I thought it was great.
I liked everything about this film. I thought the acting, the camera work, the script, the pacing, and especially the music. I thought the music was terrific.
I started watching it just out of curiosity because it was being advertised on the Amazon Firestick home page. And it was so good, I watched it all the way to the end. All two hours and nine minutes. I do not remember any slow points.
I especially liked the way the journalists were portrayed as professional. Not socially driven. Yes, sometimes the Jodi Kantor character would break down and cry. But journalists have feelings, they get emotional. And she needed certain sources to come forward for her story to have the impact she wanted. Of course she cared about the issue. But she also cared about the story and her career. And all the rest of the journalistic team rarely showed any emotion. Mostly just professional and experienced desire to break a good story. I don't think this movie is sappy or over emotional.
I didn't give it 10 because, although I thought it was great, from an entertainment perspective this is is not as entertaining as movie blockbusters with action, violence and sex. Not that I thought this film should have any of that. But the potential audience for a movie like this is not as big as some of the big entertainment blockbusters. It has a smaller targeted group of viewers.
But still, 9 is a great rating. Thumbs up. I highly recommend this to anyone who cares about this issue. I care because it's not right for rich and powerful men to sexually abuse, oppress and control women. I've always valued morals, ethics, and doing the right thing over money and power. Not that money and power are not important.
Did you see it?
