I usually prefer films that focus on character development and dialogue over constant action sequences. However, having read the book beforehand and seen what others had said about it, I was concerned that the story might feel familiar. Despite my worries, I discovered it to be completely captivating. I became invested in the main characters and recognized the impressive performances from those in supporting roles. One example that stood out was the understated but powerful depiction of a reporter's partner; he seemed like a journalist himself, offering quiet support for her work. It struck me that they avoided sensationalism, which would have been easy to do. Instead, they offered subtle suggestions—like a scene where one of the reporters questioned whether someone in a car was observing her—and included just a single threatening phone call, even though there were likely many more. This approach helped keep the narrative focused and progressing steadily. *She Said* brought to mind *All the Presidents Men*. While Woodward and Bernstein primarily seemed interested in exposing unlawful behavior, the journalists in *She Said* established connections and built personal relationships with the people they found and persuaded to share their experiences.
