7/10

Winslet delivers an excellent performance.

The story of former model turned photographer Elizabeth Miller, Lee, who recounts her times as War correspondent for Vogue during the second world war.

The two key elements, Lee's story, and the performance from Kate Winslet. Two things that make this a pretty good movie. It's not one I'd want to watch again in a hurry, as it is a little slow moving in parts, but I'm glad I saw it.

It is a fascinating story, one that is definitely worth some further reading on, Lee was definitely a pioneering figure, going into a world where women were excluded.

It's very well made and nicely directed, the production team did a fine job, it looks very good.

Winslet absolutely nails it, but at times it feels like a one woman show, some of the supporting characters are a little thin and half baked. Andrea Riseborough and Josh O'Connor are both rather good.

It's definitely worth seeing, even if just for Winslet's fine performance.

7/10.
