• Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield play Yale professors at the center of a student’s sexual‑assault allegation, with Ayo Edebiri as the accuser.
• The drama leans into #MeToo‑era language and debates over reporting, power dynamics, and institutional responses.
• Director Luca Guadagnino is credited onscreen as the film’s author despite a script by first‑time writer Nora Garrett, a choice the review says exposes blind spots.
