TOMATOMETER
The propulsive historical drama, which was written by Sarah Megan Thomas and directed by Lydia Dean Pilcher, explores the lives of three remarkable women who served as spies for the Allied nations.
New York Times
3 stars out of 5 -- [T]his is a righteously conceived drama designed to highlight the smothering sexism that greeted women’s contributions to the war effort, in particular anything that smacked of ambition above lowly clerical grades.
The Guardian
Pilcher has assembled a crew that delivers elegant work. Editor Paul Tothill keeps the pace marching forward while dividing screen time between the three leads.
Variety
A CALL TO SPY is an engrossing and often thrilling spy drama, and a tribute to this courageous and diverse group of women.

Product Description:
Based on true stories, this WWII drama is about how Britain's spy agency, called the Special Operations Executive, started recruiting women to operate as spies. Vera Atkins (Stana Katic) is in charge of training women from various walks of life for the job. Recruits include Noor Inayat Khan (Radhika Apte), a Muslim of Indian descent and a pacifist, and ambitious American Virginia Hall (Sarah Megan Thomas) who walks with a wooden leg. Regardless of their personal positions, the women are put to the test when they are assigned to France and encounter the Nazis. Directed by Lydia Dean Pilcher.
