Lee
Monday January 20, 2:00 only
Lee portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslet). Miller’s singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century's most indelible images of war.
Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth. Also starring Andy Sanberg, Josh O'Connor and Alexander Skarsgaard.
Kate Winslet spent eight years getting the funding to make this film.

Reviews
Filmed in England, Hungary and Croatia, Lee is a vivid and unforgettable tribute to one of the bold women who devoted her life to the penetration of male dominance to change the way we see the world. Don’t even think about missing it. Rex Reed/The Observer
Lee is beautiful, daring, and elusive, as all great art should be. It’s a fitting tribute to a woman whose work exhibited the same qualities. Andy Howell/Film Threat
These questionable narrative kinks aside, Lee still features one of the year-to-date’s best performances, honouring a woman who needs to be remembered, along with a sober consideration of the roles of women in wartime. Liam Lacey/Original Cin

Reviews
Keaton’s nuanced performance in this smart, tender comedy proves that Hollywood still has room for complex, emotionally rich leading men. Rex Reed/Observer
A sweet and scatterbrained little comedy that pours its fizzy bottle of champagne problems into a charming -- and surprisingly relatable! -- sketch of fatherhood in motion. David Ehrlich/Indiewire
A crowd-pleasing family comedy so frankly observed that you can imagine the first draft being scribbled on the back of a therapy bill. Amy Nicholson/NY Times
