After flopping spectacularly at the US box office last weekend, entertainment journalists have been investigating what went wrong for this Oscar-tipped drama. Have Americans had their fill of #MeToo and powerful abusers already? Or has journalism become so debased in the US that even movie newsrooms repel filmgoers?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
I can’t see it doing too well over here either. British audiences need escapism more than reality at the moment.<\/p>\n
And She Said doesn’t offer much in the way of thrills. We all know the outcome and this meticulously researched film is too uncompromisingly authentic to spice up a true story with car chases and cliffhangers.<\/p>\n

Still, I found it quietly gripping to watch these determined young women uncover the truth with the support and financial backing of their bosses.<\/p>\n
