Variety

It’s partly because of how by-the-numbers the project is that [Winslet's] fantastic interpretation of a woman unconcerned with upholding the status quo stands out so intensely.

Autostraddle

Falling into just about every biopic trapping, Lee somehow manages to underline its message while saying nothing.

“Lee” asks you to look at subjects you think you already know from a different angle and witness what should never be forgotten.

Audrey Fox

Looper.com

The film doesn't live up to Lee's visionary standards — it's unsure of itself, feeling the need to overexplain the narrative at times and take meandering byways that mute the emotional power of the straightest and simplest path forward.

Rated: 5/10

Screen Zealots

An imperfect yet admirable portrait of a fiercely independent, headstrong woman who changed the world of photojournalism during World War II. How exciting to finally have her story told on film.
