World War Two spy drama revealing in all the wrong ways – Sydney Morning Herald
This fact-based drama about the women spying for Britain during World War Two fails to make the most of its potential.
Still, given the potential of the material, theres no excuse for the dullness of A Call To Spy, a film as clumsy as its title. While the first-time director Lydia Dean Pilcher has worked for decades as a producer, she doesnt seem to have much practical sense of what constitutes drama. Nor does she get much help from screenwriter Sarah Megan Thomas, who also stars as Hall: Thomas reportedly researched this script for years, and it shows in all the wrong ways.
A Call to Spy opens on Boxing Day.
