Goofs:
Anachronisms: The film portrays events leading up to the events of D-Day, yet the aircraft parachuting the girls into France displays invasion stripes, which were painted onto aircraft at the time of the D-Day landings to ease recognition of Allied aircraft. moreFAQ

Female Agents is one of the very few war films that concentrates on women as soldiers rather than wives waiting for returning men.
Based around the SOE operations towards the end of WWII this is a very well-made and well thought out offering.
Very well shot and lit, with good detailing in both set and costume, this is really a character piece as well as an action film; Sofie Marceau shines as the level-headed leader determined to carry out her mission and the rest of the cast are up to her standard.
It doesn't have a Hallmark moment in it, but chooses bleakness and some harrowing (But not horrific) scenes that mean it remains a good tense war film.
Recommended.
