Prime Video Schedule May 15-21: New TV & Movies

A critically acclaimed drama tops the Prime Video schedule for May 15-21.

On Friday, May 19, Prime Video will add She Said to its available content. Directed by Maria Schrader from a screenplay by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, She Said is based on Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s 2019 non-fiction book of the same title. The story follows the New York Times journalists who investigated the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations leading to the subsequent #MeToo movement.

She Said was generally welcomed with positive reviews for shedding some light on sexual harassment in industries beyond just Hollywood. The audience didn’t seem to respond to the movie as positively, though, as the film grossed $13.9 million at the box office during its theatrical run.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan lead a cast that includes Patricia Clarkson, Andre Braugher, Samantha Morton, Tom Pelphrey, and Adam Shapiro. She Said picked up two BAFTA nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Mulligan) and Best Adapted Screenplay.

“The film follows New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor as they broke together one of the most important stories in a generation—a story that helped propel the #Metoo movement, shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood and altered American culture forever,” reads the synopsis.

She Said is produced by Academy Award winners Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment. Lila Yacoub also served as producer. Annapurna Pictures’ Oscar nominee Megan Ellison and Sue Naegle executive produced.
