A gripping WWII historical drama based on a true story, this film follows war correspondent and Vogue photographer Lee Miller (Kate Winslet) as she trades the glamour of fashion for the horrors of the front line. Embedded with Allied troops and fellow journalists (including Alexander Skarsgård and Andy Samberg), Lee is determined to expose the truth as she navigates battle-scarred Europe capturing images that would redefine war photography. As she ventures deeper into the heart of darkness, the trauma she’s documenting begins to mirror her own. (Kanopy)
