No. They are mad that it focused on the reporter's struggle to tell the story.

I haven't seen the movie but read the book and it was fantastic. Yes, even from a white woman.

The whole "white women take a seat" narrative, especially in the case of someone working as an ally and using their ability to do so to bring justice to the family is absolutely ridiculous. They can frick off.

So I guess that the author did not read the book..... because I have not yet to see the movie but from what I just read it follows it pretty closely

Dafuq? The author is a critical part of the story. The movie is not a New England Journal of Medicine article, it's about the process of getting the book done.
