Factual errors: The scene in Holloway prison where the murderess is recruited to the mission, shows her looking out onto a courtyard were a scaffold is erected. Hangings in Britain by this time were conducted indoors in a room adjacent to the condemned cell. Prisoners were not aware of where the gallows was in order to spare them anxiety. suitefoire aux questions

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. At the beginning I thought it was going to be too pretty and too simplistic; but as it develops one really is convinced that this could have happened.
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 does 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.
