“People have made enough movies about bad men. I wanted to center women.”
“I never wanted that,” she said.
In the movie, after her boss berates her on the phone, Jane writes him an email telling him she appreciates the opportunity to work with him, with her two male colleagues giving her unasked-for advice. Part of her day includes going to pick up a young, pretty woman who has just arrived from Idaho, where she met the boss and he offered her a job as an assistant. Jane takes her to a fancy hotel, and the encounter so disturbs her that she decides to go to HR with her concerns.
“The whole system is against them in a way,” she said. “It’s working towards and for white, powerful men.”
