Our take
A man accuses his boss of forcing a sexual encounter, then finds his own career threatened when he speaks up. Disclosure spends much of its time on lawyers and office politics, but a long, frank sex scene and steady sexual talk sit at its centre. We would keep it for adults, R 18+ and up.
Uplifting themes
Shows that harassment is about power and can happen to anyone, and that people deserve to be heard whatever their gender. It also pushes for honest dealing at work Tom tries to protect his family and clear his name, and a determined lawyer stands up for him. Several characters bend the truth to win Gives older teens and adults a way into talking about workplace harassment, power imbalances, and how mediation and hearings work, with a snapshot of 1990s office technology
Story (may spoil tone)
A computer specialist is sued for sexual harassment by a former lover turned boss who initiated the act forcefully, which threatens both his career and his personal life.
