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 is, above all, a well-crafted independent film, the fruit of a worthwhile effort, as it brings us closer to a character whose existence many of us were unaware of. [Full review in Spanish]

A disconsolate exercise in pompous and tiresome cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

Only Andy Samberg, playing the also photographer David Scherman, sheds light on an overly academic film. [Full review in Spanish]

...neither the bureaucratic staging of Ellen Kuras...nor the waste of a stellar cast...are up to the level of the legend of [Lee] Miller, a figure larger than life who deserved better luck in his leap to the screen. [Full review in Spanish]
