Andrea Riseborough: From War Correspondent Drama to Netflix Family Tale in 2025

Major Roles in High-Profile Productions

Andrea Louise Riseborough, the English actress, continues to demonstrate her versatility in 2025 with significant roles in two major productions.

‘Lee’: A Powerful War Correspondent Drama

Riseborough takes on the role of Audrey Withers, the editor of British Vogue, in ‘Lee’, a new film starring Kate Winslet about famed war photographer Lee Miller. Her character played a crucial role in Miller’s career, helping to get Miller’s photos published via Vogue, despite the magazine’s primary fashion focus.

The film, directed by Ellen Kuras, navigates through a hellish world with touches of light and happiness. Riseborough’s performance, alongside fellow cast members, has been praised for its authenticity and depth.

New Venture: ‘Goodbye June’

In an exciting development, Riseborough has joined the cast of ‘Goodbye June’, Kate Winslet’s directorial debut for Netflix. The project, described as a ‘touching, yet humorous’ drama about a ‘fractured group of siblings,’ features an impressive ensemble including Toni Collette and Helen Mirren.

The film, written by Winslet’s son Joe Anders, is set in present-day England and follows a group of siblings coming together under sudden and trying circumstances. This marks Riseborough’s second collaboration with Winslet, following their work on ‘Lee’.

Critical Recognition and Future Projects

Following her Academy Award nomination for ‘To Leslie’, Riseborough continues to enhance each project with her nuanced performances, unique interpretations, and fully-embodied characters. Her recent work in ‘Lee’ has already garnered attention, with the film receiving a BAFTA nomination for outstanding British film of the year.

When asked about alternative career paths, Riseborough revealed she might have pursued writing or spent time ‘around leaves and animals and books,’ demonstrating the thoughtful nature that continues to inform her artistic choices.
