The new movie “She Said” chronicles the investigation by New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor (played by Zoe Kazan) and Megan Twohey (played by Carey Mulligan) into sexual harassment and assault allegations against former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The article they eventually published on Oct. 5, 2017, was groundbreaking, and their reporting (along with New Yorker journalist Ronan Farrow’s) eventually led to dozens of women coming out with allegations about Weinstein. It also helped spark the #MeToo movement.
The story central to “She Said” involves a lot of famous people, but the movie takes a mixed approach in how it portrays them on film. On screen, the writers talk to Gwyneth Paltrow (just like they did in real life), but the movie doesn’t show their conversation, just that they went to her house. Meanwhile, Ashley Judd, who went on the record in Twohey and Kantor’s first story, plays herself in the film in multiple scenes. The voices of Weinstein, Donald Trump, and Rose McGowan are all also heard in the film. Ahead, we’re breaking down who did the voices — and also the one time the movie uses authentic audio.
