Directed by first-time feature director Ellen Kuras, who was the cinematographer behind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the movie focuses on Lee's work, which includes some of the most iconic photos of World War II and the Holocaust. The story was adapted from Antony Penrose's biography of his mother, The Lives of Lee Miller.
The supporting cast includes Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg, Challengers' Josh O'Connor, Oscar-winner French actor Marion Cotillard, The Regime's Andrea Riseborough, Noémie Merlant and Alexander Skarsgård.
What to Read Next
Lee received a mostly positive reception from critics, landing a 66% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (from 129 reviews).
"Kate Winslet's gripping performance in the title role helps elevate Lee beyond its disappointingly conventional biopic trappings," reads the critics' consensus included in the review aggregator.
The movie marks Kate Winslet's first film-producing experience. In an interview with Digital Spy, she described the nine-year journey to bring Lee Miller's story to the big screen as "amazing."
"I think having that much creative control and involvement, also being responsible for bringing everyone with us in the process, and making it enjoyable, making it a team effort and creating the energy every day and an environment in which people can really excel at their jobs that they do...
"That was the most important thing for me, and we did that every day on Lee."
