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!

It's 1973 Sarasota, Florida. Christine Chubbuck (Rebecca Hall) is a struggling TV news reporter doing humanist stories. Watergate is heating up and she is high-minded about reporting. George (Michael C. Hall) is the handsome anchor. Camerawoman Jean is her best friend. Station manager Michael tells them that the station is failing and pushes, "If it bleeds, it leads." Christine's doctor has a dire diagnosis. Station owner Bob Andersen has purchased another news station in big market Baltimore and is looking take along one reporter. Pressure mounts as she does something shocking on live TV.This movie is based on true events as it tells the audience in the opening credits. It's hampered by a story that climaxes in one big moment after two meandering hours. There are lots of interesting sign posts to detour from the path but the story never goes down those roads. There's a great creepy gun guy but he's an one-off. There's a truncated affair that never starts. We're left with an intriguing performance from Rebecca Hall of a tightly wound woman but it is mostly internal. It's two hours of frustrating powerlessness as we watch a woman drowning in her own mind. That could be compelling but somehow, this is unsatisfying.

I went into this film knowing nothing about it. After the film finished, I was speechless. I couldn't believe this was a true story and I spent the next two hours researching it on Google. Rebecca Hall gives the performance of her life as Christine Chubbuck. Rebecca Hall commits to the character of Christine every moment of the way as we feel Christine's depression, her sadness, her frustration, her soul (which is going down a downward spiral as she already has been going down that path for many years now) and we go along on the full journey with Christine throughout the film and it's only because Rebecca Hall committed so well to the character. Rebecca Hall should have been nominated for everything for her portrayal of Christine. It's really a shame that Ms. Hall didn't get nominated for a SAG Award, a Golden Globe, or an Academy Award, nothing. Once you see this film you will also wonder why she didn't get nominated. Ms. Hall is absolutely sensational as Christine. See this film for Rebecca Hall's performance, you won't be disappointed.

The story of Christine Chubbuck, a 1970s TV reporter struggling with depression and professional frustrations as she tries to advance her career. Although Christine finds Rebecca Hall trying her best to a very weird looking role the overall story and plot of the movie is just not that interesting plus at times it turns into a silly and dumb comedy that tries to have comic relief in it so that it could make you laugh. Michael C. Hall as George is just there without giving some amazing performance or anything in my opinion there are way better films on this kind of story such as Spotlight starring Michael Keaton that came out a few years ago but overall Christine could turn out to become a good film but unfortunately it wasn't (3/10)
