LEE

Director: Ellen Kuras
Starring: Kate Winslet, Andy Samberg, Alexander Skarsgård, Andrea Riseborough, Marion Cotillard, Josh O’Connor

Kate Winslet has proved time and time again that she is a force on screen. Only she could have portrayed war correspondent Lee Miller, and she’s spent years bringing her story to life in the new movie, Lee. Lee Miller was a pioneer in her field being one of the first female war photographers in a very male dominated field. The film is structured around an interview she’s giving in her apartment to a journalist played by Josh O’Connor. It’s here where she’s recounting significant moments of her life going back to being a model and muse in 1938, meeting her future husband (Skarsgård) and how she felt a calling to be on the front lines during World War II. She doesn’t want to hide or lay low. While she’s perfectly content working alone, she finds it hard to get access due to the fact she’s a woman. She gets hired by Vogue to cover the war and works alongside fellow photographer David Scherman (Samberg) to document the atrocities of the war. In theaters
