Lee tells the story of Lee Miller (Winslet), American photographer. Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II, but they came at an enormous personal price.

Every film with my favourite Kate Winslet raises great expectations in me and this biographical drama about the iconic Lee Miller was no different. This is my second - and this time very direct - encounter with the famed photographer after Civil War, and it's a bit of a shame that they went the route of a straightforward biopic in which the frame story is noticeably more engaging and deeper than the central story. Given the subject matter and the time setting of the film, I was expecting more powerful scenes that would have moved me, but I got more hints of deeper emotions, albeit well acted, like the scenes with the collaborator and the starving girl. As I wrote above, the frame story really intrigued me, especially because of the solid plot twist, but I was impressed how average Lee is within the genre. ()
