Did you know
- TriviaKate Winslet said she was patronized by male executives when she was trying to get funding for this film. Winslet told Vogue in September 2023: "The men who think you want and need their help are unbelievably outraging. I've even had a director say to me: 'Listen, you do my film and I'll get your little Lee funded...' Little! Or we'd have potential male investors saying things like: Tell me, why am I supposed to like this woman?", she said.
- GoofsMiller is refused entry to Hitler's apartment, because it's "Officers only". War Correspondents were accorded the rank of Captain, so, technically, the US Army guard should have granted her admission.
- Quotes
Lee Miller: Don't make promises you can't keep.
Solange D'Ayen: [When they meet again later] Don't make promises you can't keep.
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits have some "what happened to" explanations ; and some of Lee's original photos, often alongside the ones which were recreated for the film.
Featured review
Kate Winslet shows spendor, as does the rest of the cast
Giving this an 7.5/10 rating
A very and honest as you can get biopic drama of Lee Miller, famous photographer from the 1930's and through out the second world war, showed the world the horrors in the world during her time. Played by, Kate Winslet, this is very much her film, and rightly so. Again, more fine work from an actor who still can pull your attention and works hard at it. Alexander Skarsgård and Andy Samberg are the backup who just as superb in this really near top notch movie.
Ellen Kuras directs us through pretty much a hellish world with touches of light and happiness, which are few, and proper, given the subject matter, and it is eerily lovely looking and tough too. Writers Liz Hannah, Marion Hume and John Collee give us a solid script and story, given how nasty the world was in, as Andrea Riseborough and Marion Cotillard also, pull out the stops in the acting, and look real rough, only Josh O'Connor is the clean person here.
The film could of been a bit more edger and stronger, but then it would of been very graphic and a higher rating, alienating more of he audience, who need to see this film. A good bit of cinema, and with what is out there, it shines and is never, never boring.
