Rebecca Hall stars in director Antonio Campos’ third feature film, Christine, the story of a woman who finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a spiraling personal life and career crisis. Christine Chubbuck, always the smartest person in the room at her local Sarasota news station, feels like she is destined for bigger things and is relentless in her pursuit of an on-air position in a larger market. As an aspiring newswoman with an eye for nuance and an interest in social justice, she finds herself constantly butting heads with her boss (Tracy Letts), who pushes for juicier stories that will drive up ratings.

Plagued by self-doubt and a tumultuous home life, Christine’s diminishing hope begins to rise when an on-air co-worker (Michael C. Hall) initiates a friendship which ultimately becomes yet another unrequited love. Disillusioned as her world continues to close in on her, Christine takes a dark and surprising turn. Based on true events, Campos’ intimate and sensitive portrait of a woman on the brink is grounded by Hall’s impeccable and transformative performance as Christine.

“[Rebecca] Hall creates a fierce, uncompromising portrait of a woman who was prescient enough to see the dark places her culture was headed - the logical end game of our ‘if it bleeds, it leads’ obsessions - but also damaged enough to succumb to them.” - Globe and Mail

“Films this exhaustively constructed don’t always factor their actors into the design, but here’s a gratifying exception.” - Variety

“Hall makes it impossible to look away from this portrait of a woman brought to the heartbreaking conclusion that she’s beyond hope.” - The Hollywood Reporter
