It’s pulsing with emotional and social depth, and given that She Said is a familiar story, it’s remarkable it can still be insightful and surprising.

TOP CRITIC
She Said is not self-congratulatory; it’s a reminder that empathy can require immense effort, and that even then, such effort might not lead to certain success.

TOP CRITIC
…She Said does an effective job of evoking the ghosts of the past to warn us that our precarious present is very much open to the very same kind of exploitation of the young….

Like all of the great films about journalism, She Said is a fascinating picture that explores the challenges of working in journalism…investigative reporters follow their leads until they can put together a firm and unimpeachable story.

Cinema Sight
She Said feels so nimble in craft, but also thoughtful in spite of its initially surprising approach. Schrader has directed a film that is generous and decisive with genuine awareness of the work of journalism that feels so sharp without being officious.

Stabroek News
The film is most resonant when it understands its own limits, while not losing sight of its hopes.

Another Gaze
A riveting docudrama, and one of the best films of 2022.

Film Frenzy
Schrader doesn’t frame women in a spiral of violence they can’t escape, instead, she gives them perspective through collective reflection and, unlike Jay Roach [Bombshell], abstains from sensationalism. [Full review in Spanish]
