The Reckoning opens on a contrite Weinstein packing off to a rehab centre, mere moments before the beginning of a cultural zeitgeist and a feminist revolution: the #MeToo movement. The film details not only the personal toll of Weinstein’s alleged pathology, but the ensuing scandals involving James Toback and Louis C.K.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by

So how does this documentary play now, a year into the scandal, when the urgency has cooled, at least in Hollywood, and the information feels familiar rather than shocking? Well, guess what, it’s still shocking, in its sheer volume and detail.

The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck

The Reckoning: Hollywood's Worst Kept Secret is 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.

Film Threat by Lorry Kikta

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

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

It’s damning in its depiction of a culture “willing to look the other way so long as he was making a lot of people a lot of money.”
