'In its battle for the women who died at a killer's hands, this movie provides a forum for two exceptional actresses to mete out a rallying cry for justice. And that's worth celebrating.'
in which two women journalists from the New York Times helped bring disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein to justice for sexual assault, "Boston Strangler" centers on how Boston Record American reporters Loretta McLaughlin and Jean Cole uncovered the shocking truth behind this reign of terror.
Luckily, Loretta and Jean never bought into easy answers. And their dogged pursuit of the truth, despite rampant sexism in the newsroom and from the police and city hall, form the basis of a riveting detective story that still strikes a chord today as women struggle to be heard. Reduced to lifestyle puff pieces by her newspaper, Loretta had to fight editor Jack Maclaine to write a story about a pattern she saw in the early killings. When her reporting took on momentum, Loretta had to suffer the indignity of her boss bringing on the more experienced Jean Cole to hold the Boston Police Department to account.
