Review of Lee

Biopic about the war photographer Lee Miller. Ruth liked it, I didn't so much - it felt overlong, with terrible stilted dialogue and not very interesting storytelling. Shame, because Kate Winslet's acting is fine, and the cinematography is good too.

I was surprised, though, to find out that Miller covered the war, and took some of the first and most harrowing pictures of the Nazi concentration camps, while working for British Vogue. She's really shocked towards the end when she discovers that Vogue hasn't published her most searing pictures; I'm shocked that she ever thought that it might. 

Watched at the Vue cinema - haven't done that for a while.
