The atmosphere feels raw, almost intimate, as we see her journey from the glamorous Vogue pages of the 1920s to the gritty realities of war. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing you to absorb her complex character. It’s pretty striking how Miller later distanced herself from her work, almost disowning her own legacy.
