The closing credits have some "what happened to" explanations ; and some of Lee’s original photos, often alongside the ones which were recreated for the film.. It’s a partial biopic of photojournalist Lee Miller (Kate Winslet) set in 1977 with flashbacks to 1938-1945. The film frames its story as an interview of Miller by a young man (Josh O’Connor) in 1977.
Among her friends are Jean (Patrick Mille) and Solange d’Ayen
Sequential flashbacks to Miller’s life beginning in 1938 and then follow.Miller is a former American model who has taken up photography as an artistic form and hangs out with an artsy crowd in France, where she has lived for a time. She meets Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgard), a Quaker artist and poet in Great Britain. He is also part of her artistic community and they begin a relationship.
Miller’s personality throughout is hard-driven and sometimes impulsive as she copes through chain-smoking and alcohol consumption
Miller moves to London, where she secures a job with the British Vogue magazine edited by Audrey Withers (Andrea Riseborough).After World War II begins, Miller finds her way to the front lines as a war photojournalist for Vogue. "Lee" depicts some of her dramatic experiences, which resulted in memorable photographs from battles, the capture of Berlin, and the death camps, often together with a Life magazine photographer, David Scherman (Andy Samberg). At the film’s end, we learn more about her motivation."Lee" is too one-dimensional, though Kate Winslet’s strong performance reflects a complex and troubled personality.
There are too many characters with shallow development, leaving Winslet on her own
The lack of context also detracts, as her past is vaguely referenced (she was married to an unmentioned man throughout the war), and we learn nothing of her life after the war (she did marry Roland). Thus, "Lee's" limitations derive from how an array of screenwriters made the adaptations from the 1985 biography.
