Enter a world of ordinary mediocrity and disappointment–hard to pull off
Christine (2016)

A small market local television station in Western Florida in the 1970s might be the epitome of tawdry, pathetic America. Or so it appears here, where a rag-tag crew of struggling journalists and talking heads patch together a low budget news show every day. And ratings are going down.

Christine (played by Rebecca Hall) is a second string reporter in this wishful situation. Her life is full of compromises, and her efforts to excel at her work are awkward and sometimes sad. But she has determination, and works hard. When two of her colleagues are chosen over her for promotion, it’s just another reminder that life sucks.

First point to make here: don’t read anything about the big point of this movie ahead of time. I was lucky to not have a clue what this was all leading up to, and it was a final terrific punch to a slow, empathetic lead up.

By empathetic I mean that the movie makers (writer Craig Shilowich and director Antonia Campos) have shown the situation for what it was. It took a lot of restraint to keep this from turning to parody, or to become critical, or even to be highly dramatic in a kind of glitzy way. There is a steady, almost disappointing feeling to it all. Not a single character seems admirable, and yet every one is perfectly ordinary and nice. Even the incompetence throughout is a normal kind of mediocrity, mixed with sprinkles of hope and humor.

And people are generally good to each other even as they strive to move up (and out of Sarasota). It’s a realistic construction of a mise-en-scene that will not sparkle or create intrigue or move you in particular. Until the end.

And that’s pretty amazing. The dullness and the acting might strike you as just bad— as if this movie just plain sucks. But it’s not the movie, but the subject, that is so uninspiring. Stick it out, if you like it at all. Admire Hall’s acting, which is remarkably nuanced.

intriguing performance
It’s 1973 Sarasota, Florida. Christine Chubbuck (Rebecca Hall) is a struggling TV news reporter doing humanist stories. Watergate is heating up and she is high-minded about reporting. George (Michael C. Hall) is the handsome anchor. Camerawoman Jean is her best friend. Station manager Michael tells them that the station is failing and pushes, “If it bleeds, it leads.” Christine’s doctor has a dire diagnosis. Station owner Bob Andersen has purchased another news station in big market Baltimore and is looking take along one reporter. Pressure mounts as she does something shocking on live TV.

This movie is based on true events as it tells the audience in the opening credits. It’s hampered by a story that climaxes in one big moment after two meandering hours. There are lots of interesting sign posts to detour from the path but the story never goes down those roads. There’s a great creepy gun guy but he’s an one-off. There’s a truncated affair that never starts. We’re left with an intriguing performance from Rebecca Hall of a tightly wound woman but it is mostly internal. It’s two hours of frustrating powerlessness as we watch a woman drowning in her own mind. That could be compelling but somehow, this is unsatisfying.
