what i love about she said is how it refuses to centre the monster. so many films about sexual violence linger on the abuser, but maria schrader puts the survivors and the women doing the work in the spotlight. it’s quiet and steady, and that’s what makes it so strong. there’s no glamorisation, no exploitation, just the truth, and the courage it takes to speak it. honestly, calling that ‘boring’ says more about the viewer than the film.
