- 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.

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
Winslet excels in a fine bio of Lee Miller
You have got to admire Kate Winslet for her determination to make a film about Lee Miller, the pioneering photographer who was one of the first to see the nazi death camps and who fought for her right to record history as she saw it, and as a woman. Winslet campaigned for years and was consistently turned down but she did finally achieve her aim, and the resulting film is a pretty good, sometimes very good. Winslet as Lee Miller is excellent, and although initially the film meanders through millers career in the early stages of the war, later, as she gets more involved, it's a much better film, often impressive and insightful and even powerful. Miller is someone worth commemorating, and this is a fine tribute.
