Lee

Kate Winslet yet again proves that she is the single most talented actress of this generation. Her portrayel of Lee Miller is incredible.

It's a very dark and emotional story not really known to many, so I'm not surprised why Winslet fought so hard for years to be able to make it happen. It was definitely worth it.

To me it felt like one of the best movies from that era and personally it hit me harder than even Schindler's List. Incredible.

I really hope she gets an Oscar for this.

Fascinating viewing. 'Lee' is very well made and expertly acted.

As others have noted, it's quite the thing that fellow 2024 flick 'Civil War' has a character inspired by Lee Miller, then this comes along with a plot directly about the incredible photojournalist. Kate Winslet portrays Miller supremely, not that that would ever be in doubt; she is excellent at every single moment of this near two hour film.

About time this biopic was produced, it is one that does get dark but it's undoubtedly an important story to tell.

It's a Kate Winslet movie. I think her recent works such as Ammonite and Mare of Easttown have been remarkable. If someone told me back in 1997/98 that Titanic would be one of Kate Winslet's mediocre movies, I would have laughed at them. Looking at her work since then, IMHO, Titanic was just the beginning. It was ealry-career Kate Winslet. Just out of grad school. What a journey.

Kate Winslet was nominated for a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Vogue War Correspondent. She was one of the first photographers to capture the images of the Nazi death camps. Her story spans the years from pre-war until the end of World War II. It tells of the underestimated and unopposed rise of Hitler’s fascism and there are eerie parallels to Trump’s playbook. The disappearance of people, transported en mass and in secret to foreign countries to be tortured and left to die, especially felt like it was ripped from today’s headlines. This movie has historical and contemporary importance, but, despite my rating, I will never watch it again, but, America, take heed, it is too eerily prescient. I give this film an 8 (timely) out of 10.

This is an outstanding telling of a story of a life worthy of being told. I was enriched.

Lee is beautiful, daring and elusive.The war scenes speak loudly on their own with no need to add dramatic emphasis.Winslet is mesmerizing.

Sad story about the life of an Amazon photojournalist, who refused to let her genitalia define her.

Kate Winslet was outstanding, and this is a truly impactful story worth a watch.

For those of you unfamiliar with the censorship by Ally governments, this gives you an idea of it starting with the French, which in the US is a very undertold story.

"Lee" (2024) offers a glimpse into the fascinating life of Lee Miller, a model turned war correspondent during World War II. While Kate Winslet delivers a commendable performance as the unconventional and adventurous Lee, the film struggles to maintain a consistent level of engagement and ultimately falls short of its potential.

Winslet embodies Lee's spirit with her characteristic strength and vulnerability, capturing the complexities of a woman who defied societal expectations and embraced a life of adventure and purpose. However, the film's narrative feels somewhat disjointed, jumping between different periods of Lee's life without fully exploring the emotional depth and impact of her experiences.

The film touches upon Lee's early years as a model, her relationships with influential figures like Man Ray, and her harrowing experiences as a war correspondent documenting the liberation of concentration camps. While these glimpses into her life are intriguing, the film lacks a cohesive narrative thread that ties them together in a truly compelling way.

The supporting cast, including Marion Cotillard, Jude Law, and Andrea Riseborough, delivers solid performances, but their characters are often underdeveloped and lack the depth needed to fully engage the viewer. The film's visuals are striking, capturing the historical period and the stark realities of war with a sense of realism.

Despite its shortcomings, "Lee" offers a glimpse into the fascinating life of a remarkable woman who defied expectations and embraced a life less ordinary. While the film may not be a masterpiece, Winslet's performance and the intriguing subject matter make it a worthwhile watch for those interested in biographical dramas and historical narratives.

I really like how it flips back and forth from present to past to fill in the gaps, but I still came out knowing the same things I knew about Lee going in. WW2 was a huge part of Miller's life and certain scenes paint a graphic idea on the experience. The pictures are traumatising and you can see Lee's trauma through Kate's dedicated portrayal. I expected and wanted more details about her personal life, not just the profound sections. War on whatever level continues and unfortunately will for as long as I'll probably be alive. Overall, a phenomenal movie on war, but an unsaturated biopic on Lee.

Kate Winslet is good but this is one of those made-for-TV biopics of someone facing adversity because of who they are. We've seen the Ww2 scenes in countless movies by now. And TV (Band of Brothers)
