The movie was totally on point when it comes to creating the 1970's atmosphere. As someone who has tried to commit suicide more than once before, I felt it was sympathetically told, but was unable to convey the depth and complexity of how it feels to be in that situation. It is very misunderstood, even within the mental health discipline. It is sadly not ever going to be eradicated. Rebecca Hall was amazing as ever. Definitely recommended viewing. ### ⭐⭐⭐ quite good film, good performance in the title role, based on a remarkable if tragic true story *by L***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2018* A quite good film with a good performance in the title role based on a remarkable if tragic true story. However, I cannot say that the majority of ‘Christine’ gripped me quite as much as I expected.It is built around a good central performance by Rebecca Hall, the daughter of Sir Peter Hall of the National Theatre, who grew up in Britain and whose real accent is English. However, she probably did not have too much difficulty adopting an American accent for this role as her mother is the famous American opera singer Maria Ewing.Ms Hall plays the part of a real-life TV presenter on a minor local channel in Florida called Christine Chubbuck who in 1974, in the middle of a news broadcast, announced to viewers:“In keeping with Channel 40’s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts, and in living colour - you are going to see another TV first: attempted suicide”produced a gun and, live on air, committed suicide by shooting herself in the head.She had evidently planned this as she had type-written the above words for a particular point in the programme in her own pre-prepared script. Goodness knows what she felt when at the last moment, due to a technical problem, the producer skipped a planned newsreel and went straight to Christine, bringing her straight to the point at which she had planned to end her own life on air with only a few seconds warning. She did not flinch and went through with it, being pronounced dead in hospital soon after without regaining consciousness.While the denouement is dramatic, it is quite short. While Rebecca Hall is good and others of the cast are OK, the rest of the film feels surprisingly low-key.As to why Christine Chubbuck did it, the film portrays her as not badly meaning but somewhat difficult in personal, professional and family relationships, probably lonely and still a virgin at the age of 29. She had recently been diagnosed with an illness that would make it hard for her to have children.However, which, if any, of these were the most important reasons for wanting to take her own life in public, and whether she had any doubts about what she was about to do, Christine is not of course around for anyone to ask her.The only disc 'extras' are deleted scenes, which are worth watching. However, the factual background cries out for documentary 'extras', sadly not provided, about the life and death of Christine Chubbuck, what in the story had to be changed to fit the format or be imagined for lack of evidence, and whether the lead actress Rebecca Hall or others involved found that recreating the story gave them any personal insight into why Christine, or anyone, would want to commit suicide on air, in front of her colleagues in the studio and anyone watching at home, including viewers who knew her. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating character study built around a fantastic performance from Rebecca Hall *by D***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2017* Biopic about the tragic Christine Chubbuck who famously shot herself on live tv in 1974. Christine is an intense study of how it feels to be a woman suffering from mental illness during an era when it wasn't particularly well known. I've been a fan of Rebecca Hall for years now, especially since seeing her in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Usually though she's second fiddle to her co-stars, yet here she gets the chance to properly shine. It's a role that seems to suit her air of natural vulnerability. Christine is capable, intelligent and ambitious, yet plagued by health problems, career stress, loneliness, and familial discord. She's internally screaming for help, while being outwardly standoffish and unrelatable. This is subject matter I can relate to and Rebecca Hall completely nails that inner struggle. Her facial expressions alone sell her pain, and its a performance she should be proud of. A watch once kind of film perhaps, but well worth your time. Doubly so if you're a Hall fan. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/63555017-christine-dvd](https://www.desertcart.be/products/63555017-christine-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
