Hollywood is a vastly different place than it was five years ago, before the fall of Harvey Weinstein and the rise of the #MeToo movement. This week alone, Weinstein, Danny Masterson, Kevin Spacey, and Paul Haggis are all on trial facing various allegations of sexual misconduct. Next month, Universal Pictures is releasing She Said, a major film starring Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan as Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, the New York Times journalists who first exposed Weinstein’s history of sexual abuse. But the conversation surrounding bad behavior in the movie business—still defined by big egos and power imbalances, lewd humor and boundary-crossing—remains unfinished, particularly when it comes to #MeToo offenses that fall short of Weinstein-level sins.
