The movie tells the true story of Christine Chubbuck, a 1970s TV reporter struggling with depression and professional frustrations as she tries to advance her career. Disillusioned as her world continues to close in on her, Christine takes a dark and surprising turn.
It's a haunting reflection on the hopefulness of feminism for the 1970s working woman, which is also uncomfortably effective. And while Christine's death is a part of the conclusion of the narrative, it doesn't define it.
Impeccably played by Rebecca Hall, this is a thoughtful reflection on life's casual cruelties and how little attitudes towards women have changed since Watergate.
Rebecca Hall's Christine is not someone you would rush up to hug. Smart and driven, she is also abrasive, pushy and socially inept - qualities that [she] embodies in her performance with immense technical skill and heartbreaking empathy.
"Christine" is based on true events, and I suspect it's all the more powerful if you don't know what happens at the end. I did, but the film still gripped me.
Campos' deliberately still camerawork captures Christine's sense of discord, with the eerie calm of her surroundings emphasising her fitful depression.
