Kate Plays Christine

Having just recently seen the other "Christine" movie (which was superlative), I read about this one and was interested. Had I gone by most of the reviews on this site, I never would've watched it. I am absolutely amazed at how many people thought this was pretentious etc - I found it anything but! It was, IMO, a wonderful tribute to such a sad, sick woman who needed the help that wasn't available in the 70s. What she did was, really, a brave act. She knew she would never fit in in the world she inhabited. This movie gave voice to her anguish.

Kate Lyn Sheil is amazing on screen .Her screen presence is comforting and relaxing to watch. She is like no other actress .She goes about without makeup , perfect lighting in street clothes with blemishes and all like a real person l. I have never seen that before She walks and talks and moves like some spiritual sage or mystic with so much peace about her. it is so peaceful watching her. Great little movie and the ending is absolutely out standing. I hope her naturalness is used in other movies.

I want to be diplomatic and not call this garbage but…Ellie Kemper's less talented hipster cousin embarks on preparation of a role for a film that does not seem to exist (there is no record of it on IMDb and the news stories about the doc do not mention where it went. Did Greene set out to make the movie and then realize how awful all of his actors were and then change direction to salvage the footage by turning it into this "documentary"?) She looks nothing like the real Christine and any amount of spray tan and colored contacts aren't convincing enough to make us believe it. (The wig is the worst "performer" in this doc...as I'm typing this there's a scene where she TAKES IT SWIMMING. Girl, you want to be a real actress, don't be that much of a dumbass.) I'm confused why this got so much praise, I found it to be a frustrating watch.

This was bad. It tried way too hard to be cool and edgy. And the way it switched back and forth from documentary to acting was just plain confusing and annoying. The other film about Chubbuck was far better and Rebecca Hall was brilliant in it and truly deserving of a nomination for her performance. I will say Kate looked a lot more like Christine than Rebecca did. A few times when she was tan it was actually eerie, but I give this movie one star for that, one for hearing from those who knew Christine, and one for showing some vintage footage of the real Christine Chubbuck. If you are interested in learning about Chubbuck, I definitely recommend the other film over this one.

This was very boring for the most part. The only thing about this i liked was her visits to the actual locations. What she says at the very end was a very interesting way of looking at the situation. My question is, whatever happened to the movie she was playing the part for? I've never heard of it or seen it available anywhere....The movie "Christine" wasnt bad. I would suggest watching that if you're interested in her case.
