Lee Miller: [Handing a knife to a girl she has just saved from rape] Next time, cut it off

" War correspondents were accorded the rank of Captain, so, technically, the US Army guard should have granted her admission.. The closing credits have some "what happened to" explanations ; and some of Lee's original photographs, often alongside those which were recreated for the film.

Took a chance on 2 movies i knew next to nothing about today

"Strange Darling" was fantastic and original, and then you saw "Lee." Which has another strong lead performance, and is a good historical movie. But it doesn't really bring anything new.It's really Kate Winslets show here, and she's good.

The story is also good

Particularly towards the end of the movie. Building up to the bigger point of the movie, after a first half that does have some filler in there.There are just a few questionable attempts to spice it all up a bit, as its a straightforward story.

Overall, its a good movie

The romance isn't the story here, so you might be waiting to get to the parts more focused on the main WW2 plot. It just doesn't really have anything in it that gives it a boost to greatness.
