A depressing film about a depressive with a magnificent performance by Rebecca Hall. The film has a very drab period look, perhaps to mirror Christine’s view of life.

The film has a very drab period look, perhaps to mirror Christine’s view of life. You'd think the sun never shines in Sarasota and everything is cramped and confining. The supporting cast is excellent and thoroughly believable, including Michael C. Hall. The film is haunting, so much so that I went online as soon as I got home and looked up the original Christine’s biography, which suggests that the scriptwriter did not provide either much detail or insight into Christine, even though Hall made her live, and I have a feeling I will not forget this film as quickly as I do most of the films I see. I may never forget it.… Expand

Rebecca Hall gives an Oscar-worthy breakthrough performance in director Antonio Campos's biography of a south Florida television reporter seeking to get her life and career together while wrestling with a host of psychological issues. Not an easy film to watch, but one that's difficult to take your eyes off of -- not unlike the work produced by the protagonist herself.… Expand

I want to be honest and say unfortunately, prior to seeing this film, I accidentally caught a glimpse online of the major spoiler revolving around the main character of the film.

I guess technically it isn't a spoiler for those who know a bit more about Christine Chubbuck , but I did not prior to seeing this. With that being said, I was a bit hesitant to check the film out at that point since I was worried that I would be too busy anticipating the spoiler and not be surprised when it happened. However, the film still ended up being a well-acted, worthwhile film for the most part, which made up for that for me. Rebecca Hall shines like never before as the titular character in her most memorable, star-turning performance yet! The film maintained its 70s setting and feel quite nicely as well. Overall, the film was well-acted and served as the best showcase yet for Rebecca Hall, but on the downside, like I said, I really think I would've been impacted more or would've been left with a much more lasting impression by this film had I not accidentally spoiled it for myself. I also felt the ending to be a bit rushed and unresolved as well, but if anything, definitely check this film out for the acting, as it was its strongest aspect in my opinion.… Expand
