Lee Reviews
Lee is, above all, a well-crafted independent film, the fruit of a worthwhile effort, as it brings us closer to a character whose existence many of us were unaware of. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 17, 2025
A disconsolate exercise in pompous and tiresome cinema. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2025
Only Andy Samberg, playing the also photographer David Scherman, sheds light on an overly academic film. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 7, 2025
...neither the bureaucratic staging of Ellen Kuras...nor the waste of a stellar cast...are up to the level of the legend of [Lee] Miller, a figure larger than life who deserved better luck in his leap to the screen. [Full review in Spanish]

Lee is a 'biopic' with all that entails. It doesn't reinvent the formula or break away from the established rules, but instead it tells the story of an exciting life that existed and was little known..[Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 5, 2025
"Lee" insists we all confront historical and contemporary events with Lee's empathy, a value critical for a better world.

Kate Winslet's nuanced performance is arresting and compelling but the episodic narrative is awkward & confusing, glossing over/omitting salient details about Lee's alcoholism, chain-smoking, promiscuous sexuality, insatiable need for excitement, etc.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 19, 2025
The British star’s Miller is a compelling blend of vulnerability and toughness, but she can be unlikeable.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 15, 2025
A biopicture about the remarkable photographer whose World War II pictures reshaped how people saw the war and its victims.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 9, 2025
In continuing to rely simply on a life’s trajectory, Hume have rendered Miller all black and white, a colourless facsimile of the tremendous woman she clearly was.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 10, 2024
Lee suffers from all of the negatives that you think of when biopics come to mind.
| Original Score: C | Nov 12, 2024
Kate Winslet breathes life into Lee Miller's story and how she was a trailblazer for photojournalism in this emotional biopic.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 6, 2024
For those who don’t know much about the fascinating life of photojournalist Lee Miller, “Lee” will immediately send you in search for books, documentaries and archives. That alone is a strong endorsement for any biopic.

Kate Winslet's very good in this. Winslet can't help but be good... Despite how good everyone is in this though, it just feels like a standard biopic to me in a lot of ways.

I found it totally interesting, with great old age makeup on Winslet.
| Nov 3, 2024
This is a conventional biopic that is lifted by Winslet’s performance.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 3, 2024
In the end, as with so many well-intentioned biopics, the best thing about this movie is the attention it will draw to its brilliant, visionary subject.
| Nov 2, 2024
Eight years in the making, this evocatively-shot biopic, showcasing a magnificent central performance from Winslet, is slightly let down by a somewhat unnecessary and scrambled frame tale (that even resorts to a twist-upon-a-twist).
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 31, 2024
Winslet’s Miller is a powerhouse -- brave, difficult, tough and outraged by injustice. She’s not easy company, but her integrity is never in doubt. She’s a fascinating character in a film that eloquently does her justice.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2024
Lee is a film with great empathy for those caught in the terrible wake of war.
