A Call to Spy 2020

A rather dull affair with poor acting by Stana and Sarah often over-holding facial expressions. Story deserved a better film, too much schmaltz and emphasis on trying to commend the women involved rather than focusing on what happened, which would have achieved that aim far better. The book is much better "A woman of no importance"

I enjoyed this move - based on real events and people. It's not action-packed, but spying is all about doing things quietly anyway. The British decided to drop civilian men and women into France during WWII to disrupt the German army. This movie mostly focuses on a couple of the women. Not sure how much of the Jew angle was real or just made up - you never know when people re-write history.

I found this to be a very interesting movie, with a story based on truth that I was unfamiliar with. This is not an action movie, rather it is about the lives and experiences of 3 Woman who helped kick-off an effort that cost the lives of 1/3 of the Women involved, but saved countless other lives.

fact was far better and more interesting than this movie. this is largely an amalgam of the first British spy efforts condensed into a vanity piece by Sarah Megan Thomas who appears to have single handedly won the war (also wrote, directed, produced and lead actress...).

Stana Katic's British accent was so bizarre I had to put subtitles on and eventually got used to her mangled pronunciation.

whilst it is a passable dull movie there is no real rise and fall, no cliffhanger to be saved from, just hum drum then fade the action out

there are plenty of better movies out there and I would keep this on the bench in reserve unwatched.

the real story is incredible and I did enjoy this but feel like it should have been a miniseries because it loses some of its complexity and tension in film format.

Acting was superb and Beautiful Performance by Secretary Vera Atkins {Stana Katic } and Virginia Hall { Sarah Megan Thomas } .......
Fantastic Actresses ......
Ms Thomas and Miss Katic make a perfect team in A Call To Spy .....

Way too many cigarettes. Movie about smoking. Too distracting.

This was a magnificent script, fantastic cast, great directing, and based on a true story.

I suspect the lower ratings are due to the film focused on two of the women who made spying successful. One whiner commented that it made the whole war sound like these two women won the whole thing. Any idiot knows that's absurd. So the comment and I suspect over half the scores find their basis in blatant male chauvinism against women. These same morons have sisters, wives, daughters, granddaughters, mothers. They are simply too shameful to actually be ashamed of themselves.

For anyone else, this is a great, TRUE story about how women helped to win the greatest test of democratic societies versus fascism. A story to inspire young and old alike, and especially the young girls and women who aspire to be more.

The true story behind this film is admirable enough. Sadly, when told on the screen here, we get a dry, stodgy, and often dull piece of cinema.
