It's still shocking, in its sheer volume and detail.

Hollywood Reporter

Generally effective as a fast-paced primer on the sexual harassment scandals that have swept show business in the last year but doesn't really add much to the story that we don't already know.

Andrew Parker

The Gate

A well meaning, but ultimately rather limp overview of gender inequality and sexual assault in the film industry, The Reckoning: Hollywood's Worst Kept Secret is a documentary that feels like too little, too late.

Rated: 5/10

Please see this film, if only to hear victims speak truth to power.

A good documentary about the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the MeToo movement and the way it exposed the failings of Hollywood. The documentary has a good balance of journalists, survivors, film industry workers, and archival footage that explores the scandal from many different angles. I particularly enjoyed Hollywood Babylon author Kenneth Anger giving his history of the origin of the casting couch. A very enlightening documentary.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
