Lee (M)

Lee portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller. Miller's singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century's most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler's private bathtub. Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic and deeply buried secret from her childhood.

★★★★ "Lee is an absorbing, and timely tale of bearing witness to war and making sure that the events are preserved so that no one can claim it didn't happen" FILMHOUNDS

★★★★ "Kate Winslet scores her best ever role" BBC

★★★★ "Enough cannot be said about the film or Kate Winslet—irritating, admirable, challenging, sometimes unlikeable, always heroic—as she elevates the complex personality conflicts of Lee Miller into a cohesive, resplendent, three-dimensional whole." OBSERVER

"A handsomely made, moving biopic of a subject who deserves to be honoured — with stellar chemistry and performances from Kate Winslet and Andy Samberg." EMPIRE MAGAZINE
