A Call to Spy (2019)
Actuay review the film not the historicity
Unfortunately there are a lot of low scoring reviews here which unfairly lower the average rating of this film. The fall into two broad categories:
those who criticise the film for minor anachronism.
Those who criticise the film for not being the usual trite dollop of saccharine that Hollywood has usually served since special effects became cheaper.
Those criticisms are overblown and unfair.
As a film it is well made, enjoyable and gives a genuine into the emotions, hopes and fears of those who risked their lives.
As a film this warrants at least ab 8, it is well worth viewing.

Touching and funny. Much better than I expected
A funny and touching I was expecting the usual trite and purile nonsense and whilst I was not disappointed this film transcended my expectations. Amusing, entertaining, with occasional forays into the familiiar offering of baudy comedy and yet it remained consistently poignant touching and funny. If you were not already a fan of Iceland after seeing their heroic supporters at Euro, you will be after watching this gem that appealed not only to myself but to my teenage age kids too.

A must see
This film must be be seen before one is entitled to call any other film bad, it truly sets the baseline for bad films. Undoubtedly the worst film of all time (as of 24/01/2015) it makes all previous contenders for the title shine. The costumes are cruddy, the dialogue dreadful, the plot pathetic and the acting abysmal. When we sat down to watch this film we were genuinely appalled, it was so bad we were even unable to find it comically bad.
Seeing a film this bad has given me a better appreciation of other films to which I had previously given insufficient credit. So before you dare to slate any film you must first see this one. It ought to be obligatory viewing for any critic before they are allowed to criticise anything about any other film
As a teenager, talking with a film buff friend, I once declared a film we watched to be utter rubbish, he defended the film declaring that I had not seen enough films to know a bad one when I saw it; now I have.
