Lee is a biographic drama about WWII photojournalist Lee Miller starring Kate Winslet in the lead role.
Remarkably, she is chronicling the war for Vogue magazine. Although as becomes relevant to the story, the fashion magazine isn’t as committed to news coverage of the war as Lee hopes. She’s tenacious though and fights hard to share what she’s seen and captured, much of it horrific.
Winslet is brilliant as Lee and she’s a producer on the film as well. Marion Cotillard, Josh O’Connor, Andy Samburg and Alexander Skarsgård round out the great cast.
This is good old-fashioned film making if you ask me. Someone found an interesting story worth putting on the big screen and they’ve gone and done it. Is it perfect? Nup. Is it good and worth seeing? Yup.
Lee is rated M, runs for 117 minutes and is in cinemas now. Trailer here.
