Product Description

As Great Britain's forces were stretched thin during World War II, Winston Churchill's Special Operations Executive began to enlist women as spies. Their daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance. Spymistress Vera Atkins, later the inspiration for Ian Fleming's Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond franchise, was the chief recruiter for this secret army. Atkins selected two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall, an American journalist from Baltimore with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan, a wireless officer of Indian descent and an avowed pacifist. Together, they worked to undermine the Nazi regime in France. The courage, sacrifices and grit of these three women helped quell the Nazi occupation – and ultimately turned the tide of the war.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Brave Women spies fought hate & misinformation, as Nazis took & occupied France, as WWII began.
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2020
Verified Purchase
I liked that the movie was based on real women who risked, and gave their lives for, the love of their country, and freedom.

They were brave, dedicated, intelligent, trained, individuals who performed a dangerous job during a time when many thought women were unable to fight, and incapable of bravery, and honor. They were wrong on all fronts, as we now know, because of these and other women. One of the characters went on to become the first female CIA agent. Two of the main characters also earned medals and recognition from France and the United States for their work in France during that time.

Now, women fight and participate in all areas of our military, and fight alongside men. Hopefully, soon, even America may have a women only a step away from leading the country.

A warning for today exists: in watching the movie, I saw how much what the Nazis were doing in France was to spread lies and disinformation in order to destabilize the country, even using religious and political leaders.

This is not unlike what Russia is doing in the United States, and other democracies, in today's times. They use "alternative" truth spread through social media, to sew civil unrest in an attempt to cause damage to our country and its people. They have successfully managed to divide us to the point some are willing to kill other Americans without Russians having to put any spies on American soil, it's all done via the internet by factories of Russians with computers making up memes , posts, and YouTube videos to put online for Americans to become angered by, and click, and share, so we ourselves continue the Russians work unaware of how we are being led and the damage it is doing to our country.

I hope people will start finding out what is true by fact checking it before believing anything they read on the internet, and spreading hate, just as Nazi Germany did against the Jews.

3.0 out of 5 stars True Story, Worth Watching, Not the Best Movie
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020
Verified Purchase
This story is touching, but the movie is unremarkable and forgettable. I felt sorry for the better actors involved. This film had it's good moments but too often felt amateurish, stiff, unfinished.

I'm glad that after 70+ years the courage of these women's contributions are finally being recognized. The historical context and implications for our times make the 2 hour investment worthwhile as a learning experience.

I watched it twice to understand why I was underwhelmed. Perhaps accurate adaptations of true stories prevent needed dramatic enhancements to the screenplay to avoid glorifying the deeper tragedies portrayed. However, the overall production quality of this movie is a C+ at best. Some acting was good at times but devalued by how the scenes were shot and cut. The limited use of music left the mediocre acting exposed, as did the over use of full screen shots that hid the sublte performances of the better actors.

Because of suppressed violence and tamer language that avoids shock and trauma, this film is appropriate for younger audiences.

I expected more. What a missed opportunity to have done something more significant and memorable. Ugh!

5.0 out of 5 stars WWII spy thriller about real-life women heroes previously unsung
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
This was an entertaining thriller highlighting the roles of three female spies who fought against Nazi occupation in Europe during WWII. These women were true historical figures we never learned about in history class but Sarah Megan Thomas, who wrote the screenplay, produced and stars in the film, is sure to make us never forget them. Virginia Hall is an American whose plans to become a foreign diplomat are thwarted by her disability of a prosthetic leg. This doesn't stop her from being inducted by the Brits in the first ever effort to place female spies in Nazi-controlled France. Vera Atkins was the Romania-born Jewish intelligence officer who joined the Special Operations Executive as a secretary, rose to the be the assistant of Head Colonel Buckmaster, and was placed in charge of recruiting and deploying 37 female operatives into Nazi-occupied France as couriers and wireless operators. Atkins was not yet a British citizen at that time and could have been considered the enemy, once Romania joined with Hitler. Her Jewish heritage was another source of conflict. Noor Inayat Khan was the first female wireless operative sent into France by Atkins and as an Indian Muslim sought to distinguish herself in the fight against Nazi tyranny, hoping such an act would help bring the English and the Indians closer. All three women, who faced challenges above and beyond their sex and gender at a time of unspeakable danger and terror, are brilliantly brought to life for us on the big screen. The story is a beautiful reminder of the sacrifices people of all backgrounds made in the fight for freedom. This film should be especially well received by viewers looking for real-life examples of strong women who persevered for what they believed was right in the face of incredible obstacles. Great role models for girls and anyone who feels marginalized.

4.0 out of 5 stars la "solita" guerra da un differente punto di vista
Reviewed in Italy on September 6, 2022
Verified Purchase
Lingua: solo inglese, sottotitoli in inglese solo per le parti in francese o tedesco.

Con questo film ho scoperto un aspetto della seconda guerra mondiale che non conoscevo, ovvero l'utilizzo di volontari con più o meno capacità tecniche, per creare delle reti di spionaggio e sabotaggio sul territorio francese "libero" e occupato.
In particolare il film mette una lente sul ruolo delle donne, più insospettabili, e riprende la storia di tre di queste.
Il film mi è piaciuto per molte caratteristiche, per il racconto di un aspetto della guerra poco noto, per il non riproporre scene reboanti di guerra già viste, la tensione è creata dalla costante precarietà, non mancano momenti molto duri ma non sono proposti come l'apice della fase narrativa, ma per quello che sono ovvero elementi della guerra.
Mi sono piaciute le tre donne protagoniste, tre persone molto differenti, ottime le attrici e gli attori, gli ambienti ricreati, mi è piaciuto tutto, metto 4 stelle perché questa storia credo sia più adatta ad essere una serie, nel formato film a tratti mi ha dato la sensazione di riassunti, per me è l'unico difetto per il resto il lavoro fatto è davvero buono.
