Kind of interesting to see once, but otherwise a relatively boring film with a few standout scenes.
I'm sure there are many exaggerations from women themselves in this whole 'me too' movement, and those that just wanted to get something out of it, be it financial gain or public relevance, but that still doesn't negate those few actually true events, most horrid and impactful of which is the ruining of some of these women's careers. Hard to put a price on something lifelong like that. He wasn't just a horny bastard that used his position to get what he wanted, which many, many are guilty of, but he was bitter and vile enough to block those women that refused him from further work in the industry. That's what always worried and pissed me off the most.
