Carey Mulligan has taken on a very brave role in her latest acting venture, She Said. The 37-year-old is playing the role of New York Times journalist, Megan Twohey, who exposed infamous Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein for his numerous sexual abuse allegations.
This Friday saw the Los Angeles premiere of the film at the 2022 AFI Fest where the Oscar-nominated actress talked to PEOPLE and shared her journey of the making of She Said.
Carey Mulligan, along with the whole team understands the gravity of the message that the film is supposed to convey to its audience. She told PEOPLE,
“I think we felt that weight of responsibility, and I felt that on other jobs. I think particularly when you play a real person, you have that, but the stories that we were telling are so real and so recent, and not just to the people that were involved in the film, but to viewers, to an audience.
You’re aware that this story will impact people who go and see it in the cinema, so I think we all felt like it was a big task and we took it very seriously.”
It is indeed a sensitive subject that the film aims to touch upon and therefore the brevity needed to be acknowledged thoroughly.
