Lee

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.

This is a conventional biopic that is lifted by Winslet’s performance.

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.

Kate Winslet is good, though when is she ever not? This isn’t the great American biopic, but it’s a decent one nonetheless.

However, it does make for a Familiar Viewing experience, as virtually every sequence in this impressively mounted and well-photographed docudrama is straight out of the standard-issue biopic playbook...

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.

Lee suffers from all of the negatives that you think of when biopics come to mind.

Kate Winslet breathes life into Lee Miller's story and how she was a trailblazer for photojournalism in this emotional biopic.

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.

I found it totally interesting, with great old age makeup on Winslet.
