Memories of a former European-based American model for Vogue Magazine who turned photographer during World War II into some of its darkest corners.
From Mr. DiCaprio to his Titanic co-star, in an excellent star vehicle (and pet project) based fairly closely on history, and with a thoroughly convincing make-up for the elderly Lee Miller, even though this involves the old hackneyed convention of the flashback. Harrowing, moving and interesting, although none of it is particularly surprising.

the actual Lee Miller, to whom Ms. Winsle bears a times a striking similarity:
