Ask E. Jean

Opens June 5

Ask E. Jean is the thrilling story of E. Jean Carroll’s life, from her early days as Miss Cheerleader USA to her rise as a trailblazing journalist, author, and beloved advice columnist. Carroll broke barriers as the first female editor at Esquire, Playboy, and Outside, helping to redefine women’s roles in media with her sharp wit and fearless voice. In recent years, she reignited public discourse by standing up to power, becoming the only woman to beat Donald Trump twice in court, and sparking a national conversation about truth, accountability, and resilience. Directed by Ivy Meeropol (Heir to an Execution), this film is a portrait of an indomitable woman who proved it’s never too late to reclaim your voice, rewrite your story, and change the world.

"To Carroll, it was always her name and reputation that mattered the most, anyway. Watching her defiantly claim both is what makes Ask E. Jean a most rewarding experience."
Tomris Laffly, Variety
"Because this story is handled with a great amount of care, it balances eliciting a plethora of scoffs and laughter from its viewers, a perfect mirror of Carroll’s habit of countering conflict with comedy."
Cortlyn Kelly, RogerEbert.com
