About this movie

Based on true events, Christine is the shocking story of a Florida news reporter who, in 1974, shocked the world by taking her own life live on air. Christine, always the smartest person in the room at a small town Florida news station, is relentless in her pursuit of an on-air position. As an aspiring newswoman with an eye for nuance and an interest in social justice, she finds herself constantly butting heads with her boss, 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 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. (Original Title - Christine) - 2017 Fresh Jade Limited. All Rights Reserved.

Ratings and reviews

Great performance by Rebecca Hall in a fairly average film. Not sure about all the price complaints seeing as it's been available the very same day as a limited cinema release in the UK. I think it's great to have options to rent and own films as viable alternatives to going to the cinema :)

Really good film but obviously not worth £5.99 to rent - stick it on your wishlist and wait until the price drops.

This film is brilliant at showing how mental and physical health can spiral out of control to a heart breaking conclusion.
