We'll watch Kate Winslet in just about anything, but her performance in "Lee," a biopic of photojournalist Lee Miller, looks to be really special. Here's Rex Reed's review of the movie for Observer. "Enough cannot be said about the film or Kate Winslet’s transfixing performance in it — irritating, admirable, challenging, sometimes unlikeable, always heroic — as she elevates the complex personality conflicts of Lee Miller into a cohesive, resplendent, three-dimensional whole," he writes.

Observer · Kate Winslet’s Transfixing Performance Makes ‘Lee’ Vivid and UnforgettableBy Rex Reed
#Movies#Cinema#Film

I'm looking forward to seeing #Oppenheimer at our local full #IMAX theater.

The #technological innovations (including the first #BlackAndWhite IMAX #film) that went into making this #movie are worth paying for, for me.

The story and how it's told seem to be incredible, and I tend to avoid #biopics after learning how dishonest they can be (e.g. #TheButler).

And its 100 day #theatrical release window gives me hope for the future of #cinema.

I skip most #biopics and #bioseries after a former neighbor's experience with his father's biopic (#TheButler is nearly all fictional).

I'm also avoiding most #royalty content, real and fictional, because that entire concept needs to be eradicated.

However, I finally decided to watch the #Netflix series, #AfricanQueens: #Njinga, and #AdesuwaOni is great in episode 1.

Interesting story; I wonder how much "artistic license" this team's taken with the known facts.
