On July 15, 1974, Christine Chubbuck, a broadcast journalist for Channel 40 in Sarasota, Fla., raised a pistol from underneath her anchor desk and shot herself on live television. Her suicide was preceded by a critique of the station’s “blood and guts” news coverage, but Chubbuck’s true motives were far from clear cut. In this incisive biopic from Antonio Campo, Rebecca Hall plays Chubbuck with an intensity that projects vulnerability and resolve in equal measure, as her acute feelings of alienation at home and in the workplace beckon her toward tragedy. Campos has a particularly good feel for how local news was generated in a casually sexist, male-dominated field.
