jkcarlo This movie tells the brilliant story about an ambitious woman - on the outside she is tv reporter with high demands both on herself and her workplace - on the inside however she is slowely falling apart. Rebecca Hall dilevers no more than an outstanding caracter portrait of an disillusioned woman whos talents as a both funny, ethic and caring tv reporter are overlook by her male chauvinist boss played very convincing by Tracy Letts (Lady Bird, The big short). Credits to the director (Antonio Campos) for displaying the seventies milimeter exactly and leading the actors all around to strong performances.This movie is based on true events, and will shake you to your bones and make you wonder - what just happened here!

hockeytown11 I won't lie. I had been intrigued by the notion of someone like Christine Chubbuck doing what she did on live TV, and I did as much research into it as I could, mostly through YouTube.It should be known to those that don't already know that the video footage of this DOES NOT EXIST ON THE INTERNET! Not on YouTube! Not on any other video web site! Not ANYWHERE! This happened three years before home VCRs hit the market, and the one videotape of the incident will probably never be released.This movie takes place in the weeks leading up to Christine's suicide and it does give us a glimpse of her life at that point. Someone whose own personal demons and the state of the industry she works in and wants to thrive in collude to finally lead her to her last and most infamous decision.This is as close as it will probably ever get to seeing what she did live ever, for better or worse, so if you're one of those who want closure in that sense, then it's right here.

chet19 Christine's story is a depressing one, and 99% of the audience knows what's going to happen at the end. So the director has to be exceptional to hold our interest and keep the drama, but he fails at both. The character Christine is pretty depressed and a little weird/unstable from the very beginning. There's no watching her fall into depression; she's already there. That detracts A LOT from any character development we may want to see. Instead, we see someone depressed during the beginning, middle, and end. No changes. Boring. He director tells her to go cover a big dangerous fire, but she disobeys and instead chooses to cover a minor boundary dispute between two counties. She also talks to herself and pretends to interview people. Yes, she is THAT boring, and this movie follows suit.

Fallen Eye I would seriously love to give Christine more than just 6/10, because its subject matter is something fiercely sad, morbid and, real. However, this film illustrated the whole issue in a not so capturing way.If I had known who Christine Chubbuck was before watching this movie, given how this story was told, I would've spent the whole movie just waiting to finally see the act that ended it all, and paid not as much attention to her life story to properly connect.But, I didn't know who Christine Chubbuck was before watching this film, and still, that impacted negatively. I spent a good 90% - 95% of Christine, trying to figure out what the movie was about. In the beginning, is it about a Nixon interview? Is it about Christine's career? Further into the movie; Is it about her connection to the TV station? Is it about her family life? A little deeper into the movie; Is it about the stomach pains? Is she bi-polar? Is she depressed? Is it about having a baby and it dies? What is this movie about?Also, what happened in Boston? Christine was a cluster of questions, one after the next, then with 10 minutes left of the movie, the viewer is given a tragic consequence to what perhaps, are still unanswered questions.This film is of depression, and understandably, especially given that it is a bio drama, depicting the theme is by connecting us to the patient and their life and reason as to why this disease has a hold on them. Sadly, the bio and depression combo can make for a not so captivating depiction, however, it doesn't make the story any less tragic, sad and heartbreaking.Rebecca Hall, what can I say, I love her more and more with every performance, and Michael C. Hall, it was good seeing him do such a good job outside of Dexter.Like I said, I would love to give Christine more than just 6/10, just for its sheer subject matter depth, but, the movie itself lacked some sort of intensity and connectivity that if it had, this film would've been a misty-eyed lump in your throat artistic tribulation.
