Just to provide the other side, my podcast feeds have been full of ads for this film. From the moment I heard the premise, I thought "nobody's going to want to relive these horrible events already." It may be excellent, it probably is at least worth making as a piece of art, but anyone who cares already knows enough details.
The article nails it, journalists think they're more interesting than they are, and unlike movies-about-film, they haven't had 70+ years of propaganda making movies-about-journalism a viable genre.
I saw a couple ads for this movie. I knew the general premise but didn’t realize it was specifically Harvey Weinstein. This is pretty accurate to why I didn’t have interest in seeing it. Nothing...
I saw a couple ads for this movie. I knew the general premise but didn’t realize it was specifically Harvey Weinstein.
This is pretty accurate to why I didn’t have interest in seeing it. Nothing about it seemed unique or interesting to keep my attention, and the overall concept is depressing. I’m not even saying the movie gave me the impression that it was going to be bad, but it didn’t convince me it was more worth watching than any other movie or tv show.
The event the movie is covering is an important one, but not every important event makes a good movie.

I saw loads of ads for this film. It's the kind of film I'm interested in watching, but I have zero interest in going to the cinema to watch it. I'd much rather watch it at home, in peace and quiet, where I can relax and really get into it.
For me cinema films need to have either some big action, or for films like this they need to ratchet up the pressure. Examples of this ratcheting pressure would be Shattered Glass, Rogue Trader, or Cheaters
That, combined with my general dislike of my local cinema experience (fantastically expensive, way too loud) mean that there's absolutely no chance I'm seeing this in the cinema, even though I am 100% going to watch it at some point.
Anecdotal, but I've not heard of this movie until just now. Maybe the marketing wasn't as successful as this piece assumes it was?
I literally work at the New York Times and the first external marketing I saw for this was a billboard in Times Square last Friday
Woah, that is really funny.

Same, never saw any marketing for this movie. At all.
