What She Said has going for it: an important story, told in a way that centres women and, in moments, conveys the horrific nature and impact of Weinstein's abusive and violent behaviour; quality actors (Carey Mulligan, Zoe Kazan, enjoyable supporting actors all round); the inherent drama of the journalists' investigation.
What's lacking: beyond that inherent drama and the urgency of the topic itself, there's no real sense of dramatic conflict or uncertainty (we know how the story ends); despite 'the system is enabling Weinstein' being very overt text, those broader aspects never really come properly into focus; in general, there's something a bit context-less about how the story is told, lacking the texture for example of Spotlight.
