Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: One for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone interested in what war does to people. Nobody is quite who they seem. A good follow-up to Notorious or Doctor Zhivago. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood: Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace: Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 17 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: Made in 1937: an older pace and style.
Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

British double agent Madeleine Goddard meets and falls in love with German spy Baron Karl Von Marwitz during World War I.
