5 stars out of 5 -- [T]his elegant, achingly sad study of debilitating depression is by no means a conventional piece of film-making. Deftly sidestepping any of the obvious narrative choices, this film confirms Campos as one of the most intelligent and consistently surprising film-makers working in US indie cinema.
The Guardian
Rating: 3/5 --
With slow-burning, stomach-squeezing panic Rebecca Hall delivers a superb performance in Christine as the real-life American television reporter Christine Chubbuck.

Times (UK)
CHRISTINE explores the numerous ways that the era’s open sexism contributes to Chubbuck’s professional frustration...Rather than make a futile attempt to explain why Chubbuck did what she did, CHRISTINE embraces the irresolvable.
A.V. Club
Hall convincingly charts her character's winding road of descent into madness and despair.

It's a surprise with this subject matter, but Antonio Campos' Christine is deliciously witty.

One Room With A View
Rating: B --
As you might guess this is a pretty grim, tragic film and I appreciate that writer Craig Shilowich did not add an ounce of sentimentality to the events of Christine.
