Solid account of the Weinstein case which maybe suffers from lack of star power and could have had twenty minutes or so cut out (did we need the baby scenes? husband scenes?). There's a lot of chatting on the phone, inevitable for a realistic film about journalism, and the movie doesn't have Gordon Willis, but as a story of journos painstakingly putting together a story, checking it with legal, it is effective.
(What's the equivalent at News Corp? "Oh that'll do - great!")
Builds to an appearance by Gwyneth Paltrow but doesn't show it - why not? Ashley Judd plays herself. Best moment is when Carey Mulligan tells that guy in the bar to f*ck off. Maybe a few too many moments of the leads and their kids/husbands (do we care?) and walking along with keep cups.
