A Call to Spy is a dull, stagnant history lesson when it should be anything but.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 3, 2022

Another, better, film may come along that does a better job of telling this remarkable story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2022

An eye-opening true story of uncommon valor, told through capable direction, a smart affecting script, and three central performances that vividly portray these heroes.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

It might not be a flashy depiction of a war movie with all-out action, but there’s definitely enough spy craft action and clandestine operations. I was thoroughly engaged in the plight and sacrifice of these heroic women and their allies.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 11, 2022

It helps that Katic, Thomas and Khan all turn in involving performances, although Thomas wrote herself the best role.

A Call to Spy tells a unique story not yet seen on screen - one about the female spies who were part of Churchill's Secret Army.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 1, 2021

Everything about A Call to Spy looks and feels like a cheap copy of better movies we've seen before.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 29, 2021

If the overall story lacks a little in its tension-building and execution, there are some delights in the details.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 4, 2021

Given the potential of the material, there's no excuse for the dullness of A Call To Spy, a film as clumsy as its title.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 29, 2020

The film serves as a fine, honourable tribute to the incredible bravery of those unheralded women who formed a crucial part of the Allied spy operation... though, sprinkled throughout are tell-tale signs that it did not have much of a budget.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 26, 2020

At 123 minutes, the narrative misses out on building suspense, but the emotional core of the story and the fascinating individuals keep the viewer curious.

| Dec 16, 2020

Right from the outset, the audience is invested in the fate of Virginia and Noor...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 12, 2020

Dramatically inert and oddly unaffecting, A Call to Spy does a disservice to the incredible women that it wants to honour

| Dec 11, 2020

It's worth seeing for a portrayal of World War II female espionage that's not really taught in history classes. However, the movie gives the impression that people would be better off reading nonfiction books to get a sense of who these women really were.

| Nov 23, 2020

This is a film with big ideas but a modest budget, and sadly that is its biggest downfall.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2020

A Call to Spy will be of some small interest to those studying how feminist politics can be co-opted, but the poor script and uneven structure make it a miss for all but the most ardent fans of wartime dramas.

| Original Score: 3.3/10 | Nov 7, 2020

Telling her story on screen, along with those of other undersung heroines, is a more dynamic living tribute than any building could be.

| Nov 4, 2020

It has an exciting true story to tell.

| Original Score: B | Oct 30, 2020

Shines a light on the women who sacrificed everything to help defeat the Nazis.

| Oct 23, 2020

A Call to Spy has a stolid pacing that makes you feel every minute of its two-hours-plus running time. But it's still an interesting story that's yet to fully come into the light.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2020
