oh Sophie Marceau, you steal the show January 1, 2009
Really enjoyed this, easy watching post New Years excess. Feels very old fashioned, it's a simple story but well executed and beautifully shot. Sophie Marceau is brilliant in this, and decidedly easy on the eye. This is not the most French film you will ever see, nor the most clever or life changing, but it is bloody good.
Another great euro war movie ..... hurrah ..... December 31, 2008
like the other reviewers , i thoroughly enjoyed this movie , i thought the acting was excellent and the plot and storyline moved at a fast enough pace to not let any of the atmosphere slip away ,the fact that it was a true story and that it was so well made is a credit to all involved , there must be many many amazing stories like this one from world war two especailly involving S.O.E. operatives that could be made into similarly great movies , my guess is financing . Such a pity as this along with the masterful BLACK BOOK another great world war 2 euro war movie and of course the excellent dutch war movie SOLDIER OF ORANGE are great war movies in there own rights , unfortunately they are few and far between .... VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ..... if you liked secret army or world war two espionage movies then you,ll love it .
 Excellent wartime adventure October 6, 2008

I first saw this film in the cinema, and am so glad it is now out on DVD. As a big fan of war films, Female Agents is easily the best of this year, with cracking performances from all the main leads, especially Sophie Marceau.
Set in 1944 during World War II, the film tells the story of four women resistance fighter given the mission to rescue a British geologist. Based on a true story, the action rarely lets up with a fantastic script complemented by gorgeous cinematography. Watch out for the subway scene - it's a classic!
I spy with my little eye........a great film August 2, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Not typical French cinema i must admit.This is very much main stream world cinema.Should be enjoyed by anyone that likes a cracking good adventure yarn with plot twists aplenty and one suspensful scene after another.The performances are superb with Marceau showing a mixture of steely eyed patriotism and female vulnerability in her lead character.The supporting cast are great also.This is based on a true story but how much cinematic license has been taken i am not sure.Either way its a rattling good adventure yarn to keep you on the edge of your seat from the very first minute.
What A Great Film. July 3, 2008
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
Based on a true story, this great film shows that in war, there are plenty of female war heroines, that people often forget about. Set in the Second World War, this film is about four extremely corageous and brave women from different backgrounds, who are employed as spies by an Intelligence and Sabotage Service overseen by Winston Churchill. A good synopsis of the film is detailed above (see Amazon Review), but then again, it does give a bit too much away.
'Female Agents' was subtitled throughout (As most of it is in French or German). I didn't find the subtitles a disadvantage, because the film wouldn't have had the same effect if it had been shown in any other way.
I was so glad I went to see this at the cinema, its one of the best films I've seen in ages, and I will definitely be watching it again when it comes out on dvd. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, especially towards the end! Highly Recommended!!
