The movie, based on true events, has spurred new conversations, especially from real-life characters like the former Fox News personality who recently shared her thoughts on social media.

Kelly broke her silence about the movie after it opened, writing on Instagram, \"Watching this picture was an incredibly emotional experience for me, and for those with whom I saw it. Sexual harassment is pervasive in this country; it can leave scars that do not heal.\"

She also said that she \"only got her first look at the film once it was past the point of any possible edits, though there are certainly some I would have made.\"

Robbie said what has been interesting about this movie \"is that it seems to really incite conversation.\"

\"People finish the movie and they just want to share stories, their experiences, things that happened to them,\" she explained.

Robbie also said she'll be happy if people are moved by the film.

\"Sexual harassment isn't a problem just for women to solve,\" she said. \"Just because mainly women are the victims of sexual harassment, it doesn't mean that it's their job to figure it all out and fix it. I think that's everyone's job.\"
