Pretty incredible and considering the true tragedy behind this film, this felt like a really respectful and authentically depressing. Christine Chubbuck’s story is one I stumbled upon and was quite upset to learn and I thought Rebecca Hall, despite how little public footage we have access to, did a phenomenal job portraying her. She truly disappears into this person as her voice, body language and mannerisms are dead on.
She’s becoming one of my favourite actors atp. I was shocked to watch interviews of her to realize how different she actually sounds from the person she is portraying. From the sparing footage I’ve seen of Christine, Rebecca Hall did smth really special here with this performance.
Considering the time period and profession Christine Chubbuck took, I was really impressed with how this film presented technology, especially the sound. I love the deliberate and subtle imperfections that were added when presenting 1970s recording and audio equipment.
It’s a detail and effort that is commonly sidelined in period peaces in which the audio and visuals are presented in a way too modern way. It gives a clear sense of authenticity from the director, crafting something that is not just a portrayal of a real life tragedy.
I love how its not just tragedy/misery porn but it can also be read as an exploration of untreated mental illness, workplace alienation and how audiences consume tragedy (I guess its targeting me that way)
Thought this was really professional and powerful. Even as someone who was familiar with this story, the film did not lose any impact. Its a shame how overlooked this film is as well as the credit Rebecca Hall deserves
