Like “She Said,” the journalism movie that showed how Harvey Weinstein was taken down, the new film “Scoop” (Netflix, streaming) takes an equally serious look at how Prince Andrew’s disastrous BBC interview about his association with Jeffrey Epstein led to the end of his royal role. It took behind the scenes tenacity and steely planning to have him agree to the chat that took himself down, and it’s shown with a strong female-dominated cast led by Billie Piper as a producer on the story before it broke, the professionalism of a exacting interviewer played by Gillian Anderson, with Romola Garai and Keeley Hawkes rounding out the cast. But in the hot seat, Rufus Sewell is chillingly good as the clueless prince. Ultimately, the interview itself is riveting once again.
