"With the sharply structured documentary Ask E. Jean, director Ivy Meeropol accomplishes the near-impossible, telling the story of Carroll in a manner as consistently enthralling and unapologetic as its subject. How can one possibly fit the multiple electrifying lives that Carroll thrived in into 90-something compact minutes? Throughout her movie, Meeropol shows the way with panache, refusing to limit the main appeal of Carroll to her recent lawsuit wins against Trump. In that, Ask E. Jean isn't at all interested in painting a false sense of victimhood—instead, it succeeds as a celebration of a singularly authentic person, one that beat Trump not only against the odds and in spite of his powers, but also thanks to who she has always been as a truth-teller in the male-dominated spaces of her career." – Tomris Laffly, Variety

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. 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.
