Critics Consensus
Kate Winslet's gripping performance in the title role helps elevate Lee beyond its disappointingly conventional biopic trappings.
Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) 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. Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian This is a conventional biopic that is lifted by Winslet’s performance. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 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. Rated: 4/5 Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) "Lee" insists we all confront historical and contemporary events with Lee's empathy, a value critical for a better world. Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate Kate Winslet's nuanced performance is arresting and compelling but the episodic narrative is awkward & confusing, glossing over/omitting salient details about Lee's alcoholism, chain-smoking, promiscuous sexuality, insatiable need for excitement, etc. Rated: 6/10 Jan 19, 2025 Full Review John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore) The British star’s Miller is a compelling blend of vulnerability and toughness, but she can be unlikeable. Rated: 3/5 Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
Susan Very powerful and especially important in todays world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review christine w The movie was very important in teaching our population situations where women have had to fight their way towards equality throughout history forever!! The importance of WW2 and the sickness of Hitler has to be reminded to our citizens. Our present going ons are now the same in different form. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review David Incredible movie that deserves a wider release! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review London This movie was moving and insightful and really did a good job summing up Lees life. They had a lot to pack into two hours. If you dont know who Lee is you might find some parts to be slow but if you are interested in Lee this movie will be incredible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Grace H It was a story that needed to be told. At times it was hard to imagine what she went through. A must see for those that like documentaries. Well done! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Michael As a recounting of a fascinating and impactful life, it works well and is very memorable. It does fumble the attempt to explore Lee Miller's inner life and motivations, though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Lee, the directorial feature from award-winning Cinematographer Ellen Kuras, portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslet). Miller's singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century's most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler's private bathtub. Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic and deeply buried secret from her childhood.
