The film tells the story of Christine Chubbuck (Rebecca Hall), a Sarasota television news reporter relentlessly pushing for a promotion at her male-dominated network. With her boss Michael (Tracy Letts) demanding she chase more exciting stories in a bid to boost ratings, Christine begins to feel the pressure as her determination to provide meaningful social justice reports coupled with her lack of on-screen personality begin to damage her chances of achieving her goals. After then turning down the advances of her co-worker and long-term love interest George (Michael C. Hall), Christine's world begins to unravel as feelings of loneliness and depression begin to push her over the edge. (Universal Pictures UK)

I am amazed at how perfectly the filmmakers managed to capture the authentic retro atmosphere of the 1970s. I have never heard of the American journalist and TV presenter Christine Chubbuck, so I am now quite shocked by her life story. The movie does have a few dead spots where almost nothing happens, but Rebecca Hall in the title role is so mesmerizing that I actually don't mind. (75%) ()
For a very long time, no actress has impressed me as much as Rebecca Hall’s performance managed to. She's just fantastic, amazing, great and I feel like I've been through everything her Christine lived through. The film is a very sad probe into the soul of a person whom circumstances drive to a hugely extreme act, and it is certainly worth seeing, for the viewer to reflect in silence during the closing credits. About yourself, about others... Just to reflect. ()
This is a very depressing story in itself, and when you see it presented like this, it will have the right effect on you - it can immerse you in real despair. I find it a bit drawn out with Christine's motivations not always so clear, but the main thing is addressed and Rebecca Hall is just great in the lead role. ()
