Where to Watch Lee
- Patrick Willis28 juli 2025A Slog with Misplaced "Holocaust" Rhetoric LEE commits the cardinal sin of cinema: it's profoundly boring. What should have been a dynamic portrait of a fascinating war correspondent instead plods through a lifeless narrative, draining any potential energy from Lee Miller's remarkable story. The pacing is glacial, failing to justify its runtime. Worse than the boredom, however, is the feeling of being ambushed by heavy-handed "Auschwitz rhetoric" that felt manipulative and tonally jarring. While Miller documented some of the aftermath of the war's horrors, the film's approach to this subject felt exploitative and clumsily inserted, overshadowing her broader work and life rather than illuminating it respectfully. It used the weight of the "holocaust" as a blunt narrative instrument to cosh the audience into submission Adding insult to injury, the film perpetuates the dangerous historical inaccuracy regarding the liberation of Auschwitz. The Soviet Red Army liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27, 1945. Portraying Americans or British forces in this role (or even implying their primary involvement) is not just a minor error; it's a significant distortion of history that erases the immense sacrifice and role of Soviet soldiers. This misrepresentation feels particularly egregious in a film leaning so heavily on so called holocaust imagery. Verdict: A dull biopic that fails to engage, compounded by manipulative use of implied holocaust suffering and a glaring, disrespectful historical falsehood about Auschwitz's liberation. Disappointing and frustrating.
- Kevin Ward1 juli 2025Me when Kate Winslet’s on screen: God damn she was one of the greatest actresses to ever grace the screen and she’s still got it. Me when Andy Samberg’s on the screen: cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool No doubt No doubt No doubt No doubt No doubt Winslet is as strong as ever but this felt like a very run of the mill biopic when it had potential to be more. Worthwhile watch, though.
- hcbow29 oktober 2024I will never forget the imagery in this film, nor the character of its subject. This film is important. Shot beautifully. Told immaculately. Lee Miller is an important figure in history and her story should be heard. The Holocaust told through the light of a witness who refused to look away and who fought to show the truth of the war. Their work was incredible, poignant, and the fact that their own children didn't know what they did during the war speaks to the way people live much of their lives unseen.

Voormalig fotomodel Lee Miller is het beu om het object te zijn van haar mannelijke collega's en concentreert zich op haar eigen werk als fotograaf. Midden in de oorlog trok ze als fotoreporter naar het front in Frankrijk en documenteerde samen met haar collega David E. Scherman maandenlang de verschrikkingen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Zij behoorden tot de eerste fotografen die deelnamen aan de bevrijding van de kampen Buchenwald en Dachau. Lee's beelden worden het sterkste bewijs van die gruwelijke misdaden en branden zichzelf in de geschiedenis - maar ze blijven ook Miller zelf tot het einde van haar leven bij...
