New World War II movie starring British Oscar-winner is streaming on NOW and Sky | Films | Entertainment




After a short cinematic run, Kate Winslet’s new World War II movie, Lee, has finally arrived on streaming.

The biographical drama stars the Oscar winner as real-life Vogue fashion model turned Second World War photojournalist Lee Miller.

The movie took eight years to make having initially been announced in 2015, Winslet (who also produced) at one point paying the entire cast and crew’s salaries for two weeks.

Meanwhile, during filming in 2022, the actress slipped and injured her back but decided to keep on filming despite being barely able to stand and requiring a hospital visit.

Lee co-stars Andy Samberg as Life Magazine photographer David E. Scherman; Alexander Skarsgård plays English Surrealist painter, photographer, poet and biographer Roland Penrose; Marion Cotillard portrays Solange D’Ayen, the fashion director of French Vogue and close friend of Miller’s; Josh O’Connor plays Tony, a young journalist and Andrea Riseborough portrays British Vogue Editor Audrey Withers.

The film’s official synopsis reads: “Lee tells the story of Lee Miller, American photographer. Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II, for which she paid an enormous personal price. Lee is the directorial debut from acclaimed cinematographer Ellen Kuras (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Betrayal).”

Lee is now streaming on Sky Cinema and NOW.
