The film is based on Miller’s one-woman play about a barrister named Tessa, who specialises in defending men accused of sexual assault, and whose view of the legal system changes after she is sexually assaulted herself.
asserted
she → base → system
Speaking on the red carpet at the BFI London Film Festival on Tuesday evening, the writer said she hopes the story will make audiences reflect on consent and “hear the no where it is”.

it → speak → no
Miller told the Press Association: “Scarily for me, when the play first came out, a group of 14-year-old boys came to see it and said, ‘Oh, we didn’t even know that was rape’.”
asserted
that → tell → it
She added: “The nuance of consent – people really need to sit down with it and recognise that every new action can come with a no, and you have to listen for it.
asserted
you → add → it
And it’s not always a no.
asserted
it → ’ → ?
“Sometimes it’s like I don’t feel well or I’ve got a headache, or I’m tired.
asserted
I → ’ → headache
All of those things are a no, and you have to hear the no where it is, and you have to look for the yes, and that’s what I hope young men and all men like take out of that.
asserted
men → have → that
You’re not entitled to anything.
asserted
You → entitle → anything
You have to wait for someone to give you permission.”
asserted
someone → have → permission
Over the course of the film, Erivo’s character, Tessa, slowly changes how she dresses and wears her hair after she was assaulted – a detail that was important to Miller to capture the way some women cope with trauma.
asserted
women → change → trauma
She said: “What happens to women is not just internal; it’s an external persona as well.
asserted
it → say → women
And what happens when you have a trauma like that is that you don’t focus on the things that you focused on before.
asserted
you → happen → that
“You stop worrying about your hair in the same way, you’re not so conscious of looking a certain way.
asserted
you → stop → way
You’re just conscious of your safety and your fear of seeing your perpetrator somewhere.
asserted
You → ’re → perpetrator
“I really wanted us to see that, and also to show the passage of time and how, over that waiting period, how difficult it is for women in those long waiting periods before they get to court because they’re ridiculously long, and so Cynthia transformed in that time.
asserted
Cynthia → want → time
She went on to say that it was both “phenomenal” and “surreal” to see the stage production adapted for the screen and that the ending is different to the theatre show which she felt added “a bit of hope” to the story.
asserted
she → go → story
“There’s a bit of that concept of all of us women grab the baton and run with it, and make a difference,” she added.
asserted
she → ’ → difference
White hailed Erivo as a “powerhouse” who is both “bold” and “brave”.
asserted
who → hail → powerhouse
“I’d always admired her,” she said.
asserted
she → admire → her
“I loved her in Harriet, but I think she really connected to with the material, and she shows her vulnerability, which I think is really extraordinary,” she said.
asserted
she → love → vulnerability
White went on to say she hopes the film sparks a conversation around consent and the importance of establishing “that someone is happy with what is happening to them”.
asserted
what → go → them
She added: “You can’t just assume because once you had a relationship with someone, it doesn’t mean that on another occasion that is what that person wants in each time.
“
asserted
person → add → time
It’s like, is this OK? Is this what you want?
asserted
you → ’ → what
It’s as simple as that.
asserted
It → ’ → that
It’s not rocket science.”
asserted
It → ’ → ?
