monkey man asks important questions like: what if john wick had a complex subplot about class struggles and inequalities? what if a group of marginalized trans people helped killing the leaders of the rising conservative party? and last but most importantly: do you know how incredibly handsome is Dev Patel covered in blood?

Lee. Movie Review

Kate Winslet is gunning (pun not intended) for more  Awards recognition in this serviceably solid but unspectacular biopic of American fine art photographer and Vogue war correspondent Lee Miller.  Winslet is unsurprisingly excellent bringing heart and humanity to the central role even when the narrative across the second and third acts involves exploring the aftermath of The Holocaust.  One…

‘Lee’ Review: A Remarkable Life at War

Kate Winslet embodies the tenacity of the photographer Lee Miller, who documented World War II for British Vogue.

By Lisa Kennedy Sept. 26, 2024

“Lee,” starring Kate Winslet as the photographer Lee Miller, is smartly trained on a span of 10 years: from 1938 until shortly after World War II.

Miller’s biography sounds nearly apocryphal. Born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., she was a model for Vogue, a student of the artist Man Ray (and his muse), and a fashion photographer whose work often reflected her own Surrealist sensibilities. Miller documented the war for British Vogue — then under the editorship of the English journalist Audrey Withers (Andrea Riseborough) — often in the company of the Life photographer David Scherman (Andy Samberg).

It would be hard for any narrative feature film to capture the many facets of the photographer responsible for some of the most indelible images of World War II. Winslet embodies those dimensions — as well as Miller’s propulsive drive — often with an askance look, a whetted remark, a resolve both stubborn and practical.

Alexander Skarsgard portrays Miller’s British husband, Roland Penrose. The two meet prickly, if teasingly so, at a gathering in the South of France that also includes French Vogue’s Solange d’Ayen (Marion Cotillard) and her husband, Jean (Patrick Mille), and the Surrealists Nusch and Paul Éluard (Noémie Merlant and Vincent Colombe). Some of these friends appear again at the war’s end; Cotillard is especially devastating as d’Ayen.

The movie begins with a framing device: Miller being interviewed by a journalist in her farmhouse in 1977, which allows her to tell her story. The director Ellen Kuras uses Miller’s actual photos and recreates a number of her more piercing images throughout the film — as a tribute, but also as a call to head to the archive. “Lee” feeds the desire to seek out more of her images. Winslet’s performance demands that we consider the force behind the camera.

Lee Rated R for disturbing images, language and nudity. Running time: 1 hour 56 minutes. In theaters.

Director: Ellen Kuras Writers: Liz Hannah, Marion Hume, John Collee, Lem Dobbs, Antony Penrose Stars: Alexander Skarsgård, Kate Winslet, Andy Samberg, Andrea Riseborough, Josh O'Connor Rating: R Running Time: 1h 56m Genres: Biography, Drama, History, War

Monkey Man: Bold Hindi Revenge Picture

Monkey Man Bold Hindi Revenge Picture Dev Patel is Monkey Man

Monkey Man is a bold Hindi revenge picture. Although it is not a Bollywood production. Despite being a Hindi movie, Dev Patel has stepped away from the musically inclined films so beloved by Indian audiences and the rest of the world. Patel, who started out on British television in the critically acclaimed, and much criticized Skins is a UK product. His bona fides include: Lion, The Best Exotic…

"Monkey Man"

Fans of elevated revenge action films are going to be flat-out dazzled by “Monkey Man,” the directorial debut of Dev Patel (who also co-wrote and stars as the titular character). Many actors are unsuccessful when attempting to make the transition from in front of the camera to behind it, but Patel has the talent to back it up tenfold. This story of vengeance is done so well that I have very few…
