Key Quotes: “There was a certain amount of Louie [C.K.]’s story that we had to include to show why he was so loved and why this was an open secret for so long, but I think that in making the film, we realized that the focus was a bit misplaced, and that we hadn’t been considering the stories of the women who had come forward. Why are we focusing on questions of should he come back or not come back, when we should be thinking about how the people who had spoken out were impacted by this?” – Cara Mones
“The film gives some of these women the space to tell their stories in full. We learned from the New York Times reporters that when writing an article, it’s frustrating to the reporters themselves that the women are mentioned in a couple of sentences and so you don’t really get a sense of the full three-dimensional person.” – Caroline Suh
