A Call to Spy (2019)
6/10
a very slow take on a chapter of the 2nd world war
2 October 2020
Its a female take on the female operational duties made under the 2 nd world war. its a film about the start and excecution of female operative spies on the allied side, where some of them in cooperation with the resistance organisations had real great importance on the outcome of the war in france.

its a very slow plot, where the actors really speaks slow to make the playtime longer, and where the lack of typical warfare operations and manouvers are absent, i think the reason is to reach out to the female part of the audiences, less violence more viewers, but thats my guessing. its also a lack of information on where things happen, some dates and places are released, but overall what and where we are, are almost absent

what is really well done, are the production design and the very well done location settings to the era were in. also some of the acting are up to date, but none stands out as brilliant. its merely casted with b and c actors, some we've seen in worn out tv series but not many of them. also the direction of extras on the outdoor sets are blemish and not believable, take some rewinds and youll see for yourself.

but its a warhistoric feature film( made on a rigid budget, that tells a story not well known to the public) that everyone should see and learn from. its not extravagant but a recommendable watch thinks the grumpy old man.
