Kate Winslet delivers a notably strong performance as the photographer at the center of this story, who initially came to London to be with her husband, Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgård), and to work for Audrey Withers (Andrea Riseborough) at "Vogue" magazine. As the Nazis gained power across Europe, Penrose devoted more time to wartime efforts, which fueled her determination to demonstrate her abilities alongside male photographers. Predictably, there was considerable opposition to her involvement in war zones; however, through sheer willpower and a partnership with David Scherman (Andy Samberg), she soon became actively involved in documenting the conflict. By the film's conclusion, she was witnessing firsthand some of the most horrific locations ever constructed, confronting the truly appalling atrocities left behind by a defeated military that had transformed mass destruction into something akin to artistry. Her account is presented from her British home in the 1960s to what appears to be a journalist. His apparent discomfort and her own dismissive demeanor toward him and his request seem to indicate she finds little worth in revisiting those memories, but as we learn more about her life, it becomes clear that there's perhaps something deeper connecting her with this young man (Josh O’Connor), which sheds light on the decisions made by a woman who likely prioritized her career. The film also explores the experiences of Solange (Marion Cotillard) and Nusch (Noémie Merlant), delving into the stories of those compelled to collaborate with their new rulers—some willingly, some reluctantly, and others who were not able to share their experiences. While the battle sequences and overall production feel somewhat artificial and overly stylized, and the script occasionally feels lengthy and a bit stiff, Winslet proves she’s capable of handling a role that could easily have been filled with exaggerated displays of heroism; instead, she brings a more understated appeal to her portrayal of a woman whose stubborn bravery produced some of the most important images of World War II. Images that even today are deeply disturbing.
